An important marker for the Obama project arrives Thursday with the
deadline for the four site finalists to submit formal proposals that
include details on proposed management, site development, partnerships,
potential for academic collaboration, marketing and financial commitments.

The submissions, which won't initially be made public by the foundation
overseeing the project, will come from the University of Chicago,
University of Illinois at Chicago, Columbia University and the University
of Hawaii. Obama grew up in Honolulu, graduated from Columbia in New York
and spent most of his career in Chicago, so all three cities lay claim to
his biography and are seeking an institution that could generate millions
in tourism dollars.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
