Obama has a website that promotes his political views and agenda: attackwatch.com. The Taliban and fundamentalists use censorship to stifle opposition.

"The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, "I aimed for the public's heart but I hit it in the stomach." Watergate Scandal --> impeachment of President Nixon.
