Corporate gifts to Obama?
BY ABNER J. MIKVA
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES 
OBAMA COMMENTARY 
MAY 14, 2007

"...Corporations did not give any money to Obama and they are not going to have any hold on him in his public life. I have watched Barack Obama since he entered the state Legislature many years ago. I have compared him and his ethics with those of people I have known in political arenas over the last 50 years that I have been active in public life. He is in the mold of the late Senators Paul Douglas and Paul Simon. The only "Inc." you can put after his name is if you are starting to spell the word "incorruptible."

Abner J. Mikva served as White House counsel for President Bill Clinton, as chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and as a five-term congressman from Illinois."

Read the Obama Article in December 2007 Atlantic Monthly:

Goodbye to All That

Is Iraq Vietnam? Who really won in 2000? Which side are you on in the culture wars? These questions have divided the Baby Boomers and distorted our politics. One candidate could transcend them.
