To The Editor:

Very little has been written about Barack Obama's money trail. In March, Mike Dorning mentioned in the Chicago Tribune that "Obama requested $8 million in funding for 'High Explosive Air Burst Technology' made by General Dynamics, a military contractor with close ties to a major fundraiser.

"Obama's Illinois Finance Chairman, billionaire James S. Crown, a longtime Obama supporter who has raised at least $200,000 for his presidential campaign, is a director of General Dynamics, and his family has a large investment in the company. The request ultimately resulted in $1.3 million in funding for the project."

The press in general is not following up on Barack Obama's money trail information and this is very disturbing. C. Turner NY, NY
