Dump truck #2 from Clinton Inc to Obama:

>I could not find Obama's name on any list of CFR members.

However, I did find Michelle Obama's name on the list of Directors of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

Michelle Obama
Vice President for Community and External Affairs, The University of Chicago Medical Center

Is the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, founded in 1922 as The Chicago Council on Foreign Relations affiliated with the CFR?

They say no. From their FAQ:

8. Is The Chicago Council affiliated with the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City?
The two organizations are not affiliated. The Chicago Council on Global Affairs was founded in 1922 as The Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. Although our former name was similar, The Chicago Council is now, and has always been, an independent organization. The Chicago Council on Global Affairs is not affiliated with any other organization.

However, these officers of the the Chicago Council on Global Affairs are also members of the CFR. Perhaps it is just a coincidence. Or perhaps they would never allow their CFR agenda to influence their CCGA agenda?

Birds of a feather DO flock together.
