Go Obama! Gutsy Honesty and Openness
Anyone who didn’t listen to Obama’s speech on "race" and "religion" in Philadelphia today (March 18 2007) MUST do so. You can see it here. It proves the depth of this candidate, and the hope he can bring to America and the world.
This guy is such an exceptional human being, such an elegant "mentsch", such a sincerely noble politician, truly dedicated to uniting us for a common cause.
Skeptics should listen to his speech before raising their eyebrows.
You can learn a lot about Obama in what he says as much as in what he does not say. He doesn’t pander. He is earnest. He is gutsy. He is truthful. He is real. Bravo to the man!

It was also an opportunity for [...]

Barak Obama’s Israeli First Name
The rumors in the Jewish community about Barak Hussein Obama’s "Muslim" connection are embarassing, dumb, and wrong. Every day I get email forwards with silly allegations and fear-mongering. Very sad, not just because it is based on lies and ignorance, but also because it reflects deep prejudice and fear from a religion that has been [...]

My Dream Ticket: Obama-McCain
I know it is not within the realm of possibilities but McCain and Obama would complement each other so well, would unite this nation, would transcend partisan politics, would place the people above special interests and principle above polls.

[...] statements on America (not to mention other issues) would be reprehensible to most Americans. Obama did an excellent job addressing issues of race and religion and was extraordinarily classy in how he managed the issue, but it may not be enough, as this [...]
