The Obama File wasn’t ‘some obscure blog’. It was the most comprehensive Obama data base on the net. It contained all the history we have on Obama (and his associates) from his African relatives to the present- all in one place. It was an excellent research data base and all of it backed up by links to his speeches, books, and matters of record. Nowhere else does such a data base exist.

Well, here's a great opportunity for a capitalist. Create your own site and do what this guy did. Only KEEP IT FREE and come up with a way to make it pay. Sell ads. Join affiliate programs. Take donations. Hire a salesperson on a commission basis. Whatever. Why would anyone pay for such information at another site when they can get it for free at your site? The better you do, the more you can put into updating the site and make it even better than your competitors.
