How President Obama Can Take Back His Presidency -- New York Magazine

"After 300-plus days in office, the president remains, for many of his supporters, a worryingly indistinct figure.

"The government has been conducting intelligence on the Nation of Islam since the 1930s into the '40s, and throughout its history has been subject to surveillance, and as it related to the black movement of the 1960s, was specifically a part of the government counter-intelligence program of J. Edgar Hoover."
