Drew's Notebook: Anecdotes 2006-'07
William Walls III, future Mayor, City of Chicago www.WallsForCongress.com
Entry for October 12, 2007

I intend to write a series of articles to be published in The Final Call newspaper, Chicago Defender, Chicago Reader and possibly The Los Angeles Times collectively called "Barack Obama, Listen Up & Listen Good" in which I function as Devil's Advocate in the Spirit of my sense of Patriotic Duty to be helpful in fostering Justice and the American Way.


I was reminded this evening LIVE on C-Span, the value of videotaping historic events just as Lady Bird Johnson filmed home movies of her husband Lyndon Baines Johnson. On today's DEMOCRACY NOW broadcast either Amy Goodman or Juan Gonzales reported Jimmy Carter's words on Wolf Blitzer's show last night inaccurately. Wolf Blitzer's loaded question to Mr. Carter got the former President to accede to something which was itself misleading at best regarding what Senator Obama actually said about U.S. troops in Iraq after 2012. Barack Obama clarified this on Wednesday in a New Hampshire apple orchard proactively responding to a man's shirt which read someting like "What about (your statement at the recent Democratic Presidential debate) 2013?"
