The "interesting" aspect of this individual rests on his political affiliation vis-a-vis that of the president of the US; but nowhere does the article explicitly state his affiliation, which, IMO, is a problem. It is implied several times, but not directly stated, which is especially an issue for folks unfamiliar with US politics.

@
