Did Chicago have television in the 90's?

One has to wonder, the way Sen. Obama tries to lump Pres. Clinton's administration in with the Reagan/Bush and Bush years. Or does Obama think we simply can't see through his transparency? If he puts his hand over his eyes, do we disappear? One has to wonder.

Larry Johnson is basically asking the same question -- only he's wondering if Obama was kidnapped during Bill Clinton's term as president. I encourage you to read the laundry list of reasons why Johnson is asking this basic question. Here is a little of what's listed there, to get you started:
