President Bush has admitted to The London Times that his gun-slinging rhetoric made the world believe that he was a “guy really anxious for war” in Iraq. He said that his aim now was to leave his successor a legacy of international diplomacy for tackling Iran. In an exclusive interview, he expressed regret at the bitter divisions over the war and said that he was troubled about how his country had been misunderstood. “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric.”

Michelle Obama, born on January 17, 1964, is now a glamorous lawyer with a big salary, a bigger house and a husband with one hand on the Presidency But when The Mail went back to the district of Chicago where Michelle LaVaughn Robinson was raised, we found a rather different picture from the one so single-mindedly promoted by Camp Obama. Instead of the one-room tenement that now appears in most accounts of her upbringing, we found a well-kept neighborhood of red-brick Arts and Craft-style houses which have long been home to respectable black families. "Michelle was from a middle-class family," confirmed one of her long-time friends, Angela Acree. "She came from a regular family. They had a nice home. It wasn't a mansion, but it was just fine. It was a decent neighborhood." Michelle's father was a volunteer organizer for the city's Democratic Party, a by-word for machine politics in America, and his loyalty was rewarded with a well-paid engineering job at Chicago's water plant. Even before overtime, he earned $42,686 -- 25 per cent more than High School teachers at the time. Michelle's mother stayed at home and devoted her energies to her and her older brother Craig. Marian Robinson nurtured great ambitions for both her children Television was all but banned in favor of homework, debates about the issues of the day and improving games of chess. Bright and determined, Michelle was awarded a place at one of Chicago's first 'magnet' schools, which offered special programs for gifted children. By the time she was 13, she was taking a college-level biology course. She graduated from Whitney Young High School in 1981, where Michelle beat huge competition to win a place studying sociology at Princeton, one of America's most venerable and expensive universities. She graduated cum laude in 1985. "My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'Blackness' than ever before," she wrote in her thesis (see below). "I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus, as if I don't really belong." One solution, she continued, was to "utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit (the black) community first and foremost". Michelle was determined to prove that no matter how she got there, she deserved her place in the class. She graduated with departmental honors and was accepted to Harvard Law School. At Harvard, she felt the same racial divide. Verna Williams and Michelle became friends in their first year of law school. She remembers many of their fellow black students worrying that white classmates viewed them as charity cases. But she suggests Michelle was not among them. "She recognized that she had been privileged by affirmative action and she was very comfortable with that," Williams recalls. She obtained her Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School in 1988. 1988 Following law school, she became an associate at the Chicago law firm of Sidley & Austin. The following year, 1989, Barack Obama joined Sidley Austin as a summer intern -- and Barack and Michelle meet. -- she was his summer adviser. Obama also met Michelle's associate -- the terrorist, Bernadine Dohrn, who helped bomb something like 25 targets, including the Capitol and the Pentagon, was also an attorney at the firm -- and of course they both met Bernadine's husband, unrepentant bomber, Bill Ayers! Here, is a wonderful relationship map of Sidley Austin LLP.

They keep excess profits? LOLOL Kenneth, you have obviously never read a 10K. As in too many companies today, officers are enriched too much, but they sure get taxed a lot to receive the "excess" profits. Isn't that what you did at your "company"? Management keeps the excess profits in the form of inflated salaries and bonuses.

That doesn't answer the question, Ken. Lets face it, you know a windfall profits tax isn't going to produce any more oil. You just have to support it because your messiah is for it.
