Well you knew this was coming...

The LA Times is raising the question of if Sen. Obama took too much credit in his story of helping out the residents of Altgeld Gardens.

It is a memoir folks, so it is told from a viewpoint of a single person. I think this isn't going to amount to much. Then again it is a taste of what is to come when people start taking 'Dream's of My Father' apart word by word.

The Campaign has a response here.

Some Details on the Springfield Anouncement

Rich over at CapFax has some details.

Gates open at open at Sixth and Adams streets at 9 a.m., and that the Obama campaign has said the program will begin about 10 a.m. They recommend you car-pool having spent some time in downtown Springfield I would second that (I suspect there are going be huge crowds).

If we didn't have stuff going on OneMan would make the trip just for the experience. If you go, have fun it should be interesting.

No theme music for the Senator

MSNBC (and others) listed the music the candidates used to enter and leave from their speeches at the Democratic National Committee’s winter meeting. The only candidate that did not use music was Senator Obama.

So is this a good move? By waiting a bit he might get a better idea of what would make a good tune and what the others are going to use, then again some of the tunes are 'taken' by now.

Some suggestions (not really practical)
'Momma said knock you out' -- LL Cool J
The Theme from Patton
Tom Sawyer -- Rush yes I understand they are Canadian so that's an issue, but the 'His mind is not for rent' is a great line.
Tusk -- Fleetwood Mac (Fleetwood Mac worked for Clinton)
The Sports Center Theme

So you think you are an Obama fan.

Have you done this to your car yet? Don't think I would ever do that for any candidate to my Ford, but I have to admit it looks kind of cool. I still think Obama-Mobile sound a little better than Barack-Mobile, then again Barack-Mobile does rhyme with Batmobile better.

To the Barack-Mobile, lets go....
