Here's a link to David Remnick's very, very long profile of Barack Obama for The New Yorker. I finally made it through and didn't learn a lot other than Obama is reasoned, patient, cautious, disinclined to melodrama and he was a fan of the Philadelphia 76ers because he liked Julius Erving. A lot of it's dull so to keep your interest up, imagine you work for Fox News or some similar organization and it's your job to scan it and find little quotes you can yank out of context and quote to prove bad things about this man.
