This doesn’t sound right:
“Obama went on to campaign for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate as having been against regime change ab initio. He lost that contest to Chicago favorite Bobby Rush, ”
Obama lost the primary for the House to Bobby Rush in 2000 (bobby rush the former black panther allegedly derided BHO as a white man with black skin)
from wikipedia article on bobby rush
“In the 2000 Democratic primary, Rush defeated challenger Barack Obama, who was subsequently elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004 [1]. ”
BHO obviuously won the dem primary in 2004, so unless there was another senate primary in 2002, and BHO ran and lost to Bobby Rush in two consecutive democratic primaries, then the author’s confused the house primary BHO lost with the senate primary he won. and if the lost primary was the house race, then its odd to call Bobby Rush the “Chicago favorite” since both candidates were Chicagoans running in a primary in in Chicago.
