I want to end as I began by expressing my deep concern over this whole attempt to tiptoe into the area of free expression in a free society regarding political activity and political speech. I know it is frustrating to see large amounts of money come into a campaign. As Senator Specter said, "Senator Heinz had virtually unlimited resources and I did not. And Senator Heinz put those resources into the race and I was prohibited." "Now," says Senator Specter, "my brother had enough money to fund my campaign, but my brother was forbidden to put that money into the campaign and, therefore, I was at an unfair disadvantage to John Heinz." My solution to that would be let his brother put the money in the campaign.

Obama's problem is people are still not sure who he is. If they're not sure who he is, this double clever sarcastic satire confused a lot of people.
