********************************************

This Week’s suburban edition of Public Affairs features former State Senator Steve Rauschenberger, who came into the State Senate in 1992 as a member of the “Fab 5.” Rauschenberger thinks he got a pretty good look at Presidential candidate Barack Obama when they were both serving in the Illinois Senate from 1996 to 2004.
Among other show topics, Rauschenberger reflects on Obama’s performance in the State Senate and on what that tells us, or doesn’t, about a President Obama. Rauschenberger asks what is Obama’s “vision of change,” and he agues, "Obama was eight years of Senate President Emil Jones in a better looking suit.” To watch the Rauschenberger show on your computer, go here.
Also, tonight’s City of Aurora edition of "Public Affairs," features Greg Hinz, Crain's Chicago Business political columnist, airing at 7:30 pm tonight on Aurora Community Television on Comcast Cable Ch. 10 in Aurora and some surrounding areas: the Aurora station reaches all of Aurora, Bristol, Big Rock and parts of Oswego, Sandwich, Sugar Grove and Montgomery.

***************************************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: Paul Green [Roosevelt University Professor and WGN AM Radio] political commentator] talks about being the white line down the middle of the road; would that be Greg Hinz?
Greg Hinz; No, I think I am more left of center than right of center.
Jeff Berkowitz: So, you are typical for the mainstream media, would you say?
Greg Hinz; I’ll let you say that.
Jeff Berkowitz: You don’t think the mainstream media would at least lean left, if not far left?
Greg Hinz; Fox News [Channel] does a pretty good job of balancing it the other way.
Jeff Berkowitz: Well, they are the only one, right? Then you have CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC …NBC…Have I left out anybody? Those that I just mentioned are on the left and then you have on the other side—Fox on the right, so it hardly seems fair or balanced.
**************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: …what is the magic about Obama…
Greg Hinz: I think all the polls and I think the sense of the political establishment right now is that Americans aren’t very happy about the state of the Nation by and large.
Jeff Berkowitz: Change, that would be the big word.
Greg Hinz: Yeah, we’ve got stuck in this war that doesn’t seem to end; the economy’s falling apart—
Jeff Berkowitz: Well, falling apart would be a litte—we don’t even know if we are in a recession yet, let along falling apart—
Greg Hinz: Not in great shape; not in great shape.
Jeff Berkowitz: Well, the first month we’ve had a decline in jobs and you say “falling apart.” You’re at a business magazine Is that what Crain’s thinks?
Greg Hinz: I think Crain’s thinks the economy is not in very good shape now. My IRA would say that, so would yours.
Jeff Berkowitz: But, “falling apart,” you know, all right, Okay-
Greg Hinz: On the verge of falling apart.
Jeff Berkowitz: I interrupted, sorry, so, the war goes on—
Greg Hinz: So, people aren’t happy and they want change and here Barack Obama comes and he presents himself as an agent of change and he does it by not coming across as a hyper partisan like Hillary Clinton sometime does, “I’m going to smash them; I ‘m going to bait them,” but I ‘m going to take us to the Promised Land where we’re all gong to get together and rally about. These kinds of changes we can agree on actually accomplish something.
Jeff Berkowitz: We all hold hands and sing Kumbyyah with Barack Obama?
Greg Hinz: To a degree, which is what—she[Hillary] has tried to come back and suggest, “Hey, you can’t really believe all this, it’s a nice dream, but it’s not quite real.”
Jeff Berkowitz: Right.
Greg Hinz: But, right now, it has sunk in quite successfully, particularly with certainly parts of the electorate, younger people for instance.
