People need to start looking at Barack's "humble beginnings".

This is what I THINK I know so far about Barack:

Barack's FATHER was reported to be a goat-keeper from Kenya - but I think it was Barack's grandfather who apparently had enough goats to send his son (Barack's father) from Africa to the U of Hawaii.

Barack's stepfather, LoLo Soetero, took his new wife Ann and Barack to Jakarta during political chaos (see "The Year of Living Dangerously") and some have cited both Barack's bio father and stepfather as leftist (Marxist) activists.

Barack's mother has been described as naive and a free-spirited beatnik (who found the dough to get a PHD). She is praised as a single parent after divorcing two men in 6 years, then sending her son Barack to Honolulu to be raised by her mother who was a bank vice president.

Barack attended the elite Punahou prep school, which costs around $17,000 today for elementary school. Barack says that Hawaii was very diverse and that he didn't face Jim Crow racism.

Shrum said today on "Meet the Press" that Michelle and Barack just finished paying their school loans - hard to believe considering Michelle's $300K salary and corporate board position.

If you think that Barack is a phoenix arising from the ashes of American disadvantage, think again. He is a product of privilege. It is no surprise that he would stand in a multi-million dollar house in SF and talk about the bitter small town Americans who turn to guns, religion and antipathy.

After seeing the original video clip of McPeak's comparison of Bill Clinton to Joe McCarthy, I searched the web, and it has gone missing.  These are the sources I searched:  NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Fox, Google, Wonkette, New York Times, Politico, Breitbart, CNN, Youtube.  Although the SECOND McPeak/Obama video clip is available, the FIRST is not.  

Both CNN and MSNBC have edited video reports regarding the incident.  CNN's truncates the FIRST clip just before the offending statement, and claims that McPeak "told an AP reporter", while in fact he made the statement on-stage at a large Obama rally.  MSNBC's  report is entitled "Obama Advisor: Bill Clinton Like Joe McCarthy."   This video report runs Bill Clinton's allegedly egregious comments about Barack, then pans to Buchanan and others, and ends without ever showing the video clip of McPeak actually making the comparison at the rally.

Why is this important?  Because the SECOND video clip shows a toned-down McPeak who does not repeat the Joe McCarthy charge, along with a Barack Obama pensively looking down during most of McPeak's presentation.

But the FIRST video clip shows the actual statement being made, while Barack stands next to him with his arms crossed, and a slight smile on his face, which has been described variously as smug, aloof, or arrogant.  I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw Barack's stance on such a repulsive comparison.

Is it possible that the web has been scrubbed of this video, and if so, why?  Is there any way of getting it back because, like the Wright affair, it sheds light on whether Barack is keeping his commitment for a clean campaign.
