Will Obama's ties with Aspen Society make a NYT Page 1 article until end of 2008?
Settled as No
Obama is tied to the Aspen Society, run by co-chairman Brent Scowcroft through at least 3 connections.
Freshly approved James L. Jones (Chevron, Boeing), is linked via Atlantic Council of the United States to Brent Scowcroft, who is co-chairman of the Aspen Society.
Obama Transition Staff member Michele Flournoy, is member of the Aspen Strategy Group.
Finally Congressman Xavier Becerra, eyed for the position as U.S. Trade Representative, was sponsored by Aspen in 2004.
Though ignored by the majority of Obama Voters, Aspen, which is mainly funded by the Carnegie Corporation, The Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Ford Foundation, is basically run by 'Bushniks', among them Aspen Strategy Group members Eliot Cohen, Robert Kagan, Richard Armitage, Judith Miller, Condoleezza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, R. James Woolsey, Philip D. Zelikow, Robert Zoellick and many others

Did you hear that Obama has actually worked with people who want to ban all forms of abortion and think gays shouldn't be allowed to teach in public schools? Yep! (He chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs while Jim DeMint was the ranking Republican.)
It's just not news. How many times do you think Bob Gates has spoken at the Heritage Foundation? That's just D.C. It's a small city after all.
