I don't know if it will help, but here are important events that happened on 8/4:

1962 Nelson Mandela captured by South African police

Obama on 9/11:

"I remember that I was driving to a state legislative hearing in downtown Chicago when I heard the news on my car radio, that a plane had hit the World Trade Center," he said.

Then an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama recalled he was on Lake Shore Drive. He continued to the Thompson Center, the state building in downtown Chicago, for a meeting of the policy wonky Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. Vicki Thomas is the committee's director. She and her staff rushed to the Thompson Center when they heard of the attacks.

"The firm was clustered in this room - basically everyone - lawyers, secretaries, paralegals - and the room was full," Miceli said. "We were all watching...it was a small screen.... As I remember it, there was really little conversation. There was no talking. People were just transfixed by what they were seeing on the screen."

So transfixed, Miceli said this week, that he wasn't aware of exactly who was in the room. He has no specific memory of Mr. Obama being there.

Isn't it funny how often that happens with Obama. None of his Harvard classmates ever remember seeing him in the room and apparently no one in the room remember seeing Obama there watching 9/11 unfold with him, but the official story is that he was "there".

Escuder is a public defender now, and remembers his professor's comment when he sees other lawyers wearing flag pins, and when he sees President Obama wearing one. He said it maybe disappoints him a little, but he doesn't fault the president.

"He probably made the calculation that it could be turned into something far bigger than it really was, if he didn't wear it," Escuder said. "He is a patriot and it just takes away one more argument that people could be making against him, if he just sort of goes with the flow on that small issue."

So he didn't wear the US flag to show unity, but just to hide.

"He or I might have said, 'You know, now his name rhymes with this horrible mass murderer who's been accused of doing this thing and that would just create an added challenge," Adelstein said this week.

In his book, Mr. Obama wrote about this lunch with an unnamed "media consultant."

"We both looked down at the newspaper beside him," Obama wrote. "There, on the front page, was Osama bin Laden."

"Hell of a thing, isn't it?" Mr. Obama quoted the consultant. "Really bad luck. You can't change your name of course."

Actually you CAN change a name if you want. It's paperwork, but if you think it would HURT your run for office you can every easily change a name. For example you could take your wife's last name.

Ah, but it seems like Obama and his cronies LIKED that his name rhymed with Osama Bin Laden.

They didn't just have named that rhymed, they actually looked similar as well. It looks like they had Obama's role very planned out. O[b/s]ama.
