For 82 days in 1968, Robert F. Kennedy ran for President. His campaign was described as magical and mystical. With RFK, we believed that anything was possible. Then his life was tragically cut short. His great potential left unfulfilled. There hasn’t been another politician, since RFK, who has inspired this country so profoundly…until Barak Obama. Will Barack Obama be able to recreate the magic of those 82 days?

Hope and Change: 100 days

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Toward the end of the campaign, I created this site to continue commenting on politics and current events. The theme of this blog, hope and change, is intended to reflect the positive spirit of the campaign and the new administration. Barack Obama moved to Los Angeles in 1979 to attend Occidental College. He chose Occidental because he met a girl from Los Angeles while she was on vacation in Hawaii, and decided he wanted to be near her. My decision to move to Los

Truthdig - Reports - What to Make of the Ironic Mr. Obama

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Barack Obama is a detached man who has inspired fierce loyalties, and a cool man who has aroused both warm feelings of affection and a fiery opposition. He loves to engage conservatives, yet few of them have chosen to engage him. ….. and only differs from them in that he is better at telling campaign lies and saying things that the faith-based community can use to support their imaginary hopes for change, but that the reality-based community sees right through.
