I did some extensive reading on Obama yesterday to get a deeper sense of who he is and what he brings to the Presidency or the Vice Presidency.

Because of his background he had a mixed religious education.
Muslim and Christian.

It was in Chicago that he joined a Christian church.

His family background is quite a story. His upbringing was not normal by standards of a mother and father both being present to raise him.

He was primarily raised by his mother's parents------his white grandparents.

I don't want to misquote what I read so suggest you spend sometime searching the internet. Takes a lot of time to tunnel through all of the repetitive sites-----just be creative in your queries.

Market time.

I think being to the right or left of center is an asset. That is where the Independents are mostly and Obama needs to get them on their side.

During 2004, Dean and Kuchinich lost to Edwards and Kerry, who were more to the center than they were.
