Does Barack Obama support slave reparations payments to the same degree as does his friend Dorothy Tillman?

Not heard of Dorothy Tillman, well you should have. The Chicago Daily Observer can bring you up to speed on this "lady" and her relationship with Barack Obama. Unfortunately before you get to that part of the article you will have to wade through a summary of the current legal position of some other of Barack Obama's friends:
"In Detroit, Obama’s pal, former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has plead guilty to an assortment crimes and resigned his office to begin a prison term. Closer to home, convicted political fixer Tony Rezko is due to be sentenced shortly before election day. Reports have indicated that Rezko has begun cooperating with prosecutors in an effort to reduce his sentence. Federal investigators have also conducted a search of the home of Will County Executive Larry Walsh, who served with Obama in the Illinois Senate. Walsh was one Obama’s poker playing friends and questions have been raised about the number of federal grant dollars that Obama showered upon Will County after meeting with lobbyists employed by Walsh."
Presidential material? Well if you remember Bill Clinton fondly then I suppose Barack Obama might be.

Here's a short extract from the rest of the article about Dorothy Tillman:
"In 1991, during the middle of redistricting negotiations, Tillman shocked her colleagues by brandishing a gun during the heated discussions on the aldermanic map. Apparently, Tillman was able to obtain the ward boundaries and election precincts that she desired without bloodshed. Tillman made further headlines during 2000 when she created a controversy by demanding that the Palmer House remove two waiters from a banquet that she sponsored and replace the servers with two African American waiters. Tillman, who made herself a career out of decrying discrimination at every opportunity, was promptly denounced as a bigot. Even Mayor Richard M. Daley rebuked her in a public statement."


As the Chicago Daily Observer wonders:
"One question that Obama definitely does not want to be aired is whether or not he supports slave reparations payments to the same degree as does his friend Dorothy Tillman? It is an open question. Which Obama can you believe? The radical race demagogue of his two books or the nuanced and posturing candidate on the campaign trail? It is a controversial and divisive issue that Obama cannot afford to discuss."
I, for one, would like to know the truth about this matter like so many others, but team Obama have all but closed down debate on the facts about Barack Obama and left the masses with empty slogans to cheer and repeat ad nauseum.
