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.
