"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Background on Obama

Obama received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia in 1983, then worked at Business International Corporation and New York Public Interest Research Group before moving to Chicago in 1985 to take a job as a community organizer.[15][16] He entered Harvard Law School in 1988.[17] In 1990, The New York Times reported his election as the Harvard Law Review's "first black president in its 104-year history".[18] Obama completed his law degree magna cum laude in 1991, then returned to Chicago where he headed a voter registration drive and began writing his first book, Dreams from My Father, published in 1995.[19][20] As an associate attorney with Miner, Barnhill & Galland from 1993 to 1996, he represented community organizers, discrimination claims, and voting rights cases.[21] He was also a lecturer of constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1993 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004.[22]

Did Obama join Rev Wright's Church BEFORE he went to Law School and is Wright one of the people behind him going to Harvard?

This link details his rise: http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct/jan05/cover.php

The link contains this from 1985:

Upon graduating from Columbia, Obama attempted a career as a community organizer. He wrote that when classmates weren’t sure what that was, he didn’t have a sufficient answer for them. “Instead, I’d pronounce the need for change,” he wrote. “Change in the White House, where Reagan and his minions were carrying on their dirty deeds. Change in the Congress, compliant and corrupt. Change in the mood of the country, manic and self-absorbed. Change won’t come from the top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass roots.

“That’s what I’ll do, I’ll organize black folks. At the grass roots. For change.”

Why hasn't the media told everyone that his campaign phrase "CHANGE" came from 1985 and is not new? Why hasn't the media questioned what he has been doing for the last 28 years to make a change? From his speech this week and follow up comments looks to me like he blames whites for change not happening. He worked for ACORN before he went to law school which has been indicted in several states for voter fraud but how much voter fraud did they commit for Dems that they no indictments were issued? Is his rise to fame by knocking out all opponents part of the ACORN voter fraud? Did Obama plan to win the election on the backs of ACORN? Inquiring minds want to know.
