Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 06:47:12 AM PDT

How JFK Brought Us Obama-Literally

Thu Jan 10, 2008 at 03:59:32 PM PDT

Every few elections it seems we have a "JFK" candidate.   16 years ago, it was a young Bill Clinton.  Today, many say that Barack Obama, because of his youth and the optimism he exudes, strongly reminds them of JFK.  But Barack Obama has a much more direct connection to John Fitzgerald Kennedy.   Were it not for Kennedy's actions, Barack Obama would not exist.

Sorry, but Benazir Bhutto Was No Saint

Sat Dec 29, 2007 at 06:48:48 AM PDT

It is truly tragic that the first female Muslim Prime Minister has been killed, but we shouldn't look at her legacy with rose-tinted glasses.  If Bhutto could be considered a democrat, she was a corrupt one.

Tue Dec 25, 2007 at 07:25:10 PM PDT

I am deeply conflicted about the candidacy of Barack Obama.  There are many things that make me think he is a great, maybe the best candidate, and there are others that give me pause about what kind of a leader he would be.   I think that is because there are really two Obamas.
