And one other thing..
I had always wondered, Why Chicago?  How does a kid raised in HI and 
elsewhere, goes to college in LA and NY and Boston, end up in Chicago? 
What made him go there for internship?

I think Frank Marshall Davis is the connection.  He had lived there much 
of his life and probably told young Obama stories about it.  Also, 
Davis' ex-wife had been a Chicago socialite (white), so Davis would have 
known who's who in the Chicago socialist world.
That may not be factual, but in my mind, I think that is why Obama chose 
Chicago...he knew that he might find a receptive hear to his own 
ideologies, and he did with Palmer, Ayers, and others.
