Thomas Paine, well sorta ...

Thomas Paine was a firebrand. I don't agree with all of this but the fellow who reminded me of it — I'd earlier distributed it — said: This guy's video on youtube has been so popular that Obama called him personally. He said that he was very disturbed with the video and invited him to the White House. Obama also said he wanted the White House to handle the Press and not to talk about the video or the White House visit. Is it true, I mean about Obama? I don't know, but it's certainly an excuse to send it around for one more spin.
