Don't be confused. This is a "brain storming" video. Draw your own conclusions, if any. Suggestion: You might watch this first and then listen while you passively scan the graphics. Who knows? It might trigger a thought.

Who is Minow. The old TV producers knew him well. In fact, the boat featured in Gilligan's Island was named after him.

Does he know Barack Obama? Absolutely.
Obama was offered a permanent job at Sidley, though senior partner Newton Minow wasn't surprised when he turned the firm down; the two had often discussed the intern's political plans, and Minow had pledged to help Obama in his pursuit of a place in public life.

From Wiki: Minow has supported and written about the Digital Promise Project, a project to fulfill the educational potential of the internet.

He is Senior Counsel in the Chicago headquartered law firm of Sidley Austin LLP (formerly Sidley and Austin prior to a merger with Brown and Wood), a large international law firm with multiple areas of expertise, including telecommunications related law.

Between 1965 and 1991, he was a managing partner in the law firm before becoming Senior Counsel in 1991.

Minow's early contact to Singapore and Singaporean officials was through his law work at Sidley Austin, which opened a Singapore office in 1982. He was appointed Honorary Consul General in 2001. His office processes consular and visa applications while some Singaporean honorary consuls refer such matters to another embassy or consular office.

Mr. Minow is a prominent supporter of Barack Obama's candidacy for President of the United States. He recruited him in 1988 to work for his law firm Sidley Austin LLP as a summer associate, where Obama met his future wife Michelle Robinson.

Minow co-chaired the 1976 and 1980 presidential debates and is a vice-chairman of the Commission on Presidential Debates. He has served on numerous presidential commissions and was chairman of a special advisory committee to the Secretary of Defense on protecting civil liberties in the fight against terrorism. His book on the history of the Presidential debates was released in March 2008 by the University of Chicago Press.
