Run Obama Run

Good article on Salon.com about Mr. Obama can be found here.

And when Larry told me that Obama had announced yesterday, I replied "you mean Osama"? Because of this CNN "gaffe".

And the drum beat in the press starting to Arabic-bait the candidate by pointing out over and over that his middle name is Hussein. From the same RawStory article:

Initially, a variety of news organizations and pundits began pointing out that Obama's middle name was "Hussein," given to him by his father who was born and raised a Muslim. In early November, Chris Matthews on MSNBC suggested that the "Hussein" moniker will "be interesting down the road." Republican pundits and strategists then began referring to Obama's middle name more pointedly. [Emphasis Eliel's --ed]

It's going to be a long two 22 months. Chances are this election cycle will be partisan and maiming to our psyches, but let's at least hope that our country will start down the road of healing from the last 6 years of this administration's policies.
