4. the TRUTH about the founders
Patricia Albjerg Graham - Funny middle name, possible terrorist

Barack Obama - African

Stanley O. Ikenberry - sounds kinda Jewish

Arnold R. Weber - professor of labor economics = commie

Ray Romero - appointed to Chicago School Finance Authority board by former socialist governer of IL Jim Edgar (who tried to pretend he was a republican)

Wanda White - only worked for democratic mayors of chicago, how convenient

Susan Crown - thinks shes a queen

Handy Lindsey, Jr - not as handy as his father, no matter what he would have us believe
