...working for Obama is a racial appeal; he knows he can't win as the Black Candidate. I remember watching Obama in a school auditorium in Berlin, N.H., this winter, long before Rev.

"My wife tried to hold on to my waist, but the water dragged her away," he says. He clung to the tree for three hours. When he finally descended, the water in his village of Ka Ka Yon still...
