Ryan Lizza has written a long article titled "The Agitator: Barack Obama's unlikely political education." It focuses on Obama's life in Chicago, from his arrival at age 24, looking to get involved with community organizing, to laying the groundwork for his run for the U.S. Senate. It's quite good.
One added benefit: The article was written and published before the Jeremiah Wright controversy flared up, so you needn't worry that this is yet another dissection of the fallout from that kerfuffle.
If you're one of those people who has said, "I still don't feel like I know enough about Obama," this article should help quite a bit. Recommended for everybody, though. It's not a puff piece by any means.
