Re: Israel

When an article penned by Robert Wexler is on the front page of the Jerusalem Post defending Barak Obama, you know things have changed.
I believe Clinton surrogates sent out the Wright tapes and I know they sent out emails mentioning him.
Clinton surrogates like the following don't woman want change which is why I won't vote for Hillary no matter what she does.

http://www.wilshireandwashington.com/2008/03/hwd-clinton-bun.html

Daphna Ziman, a Hillary Clinton bundler well-known in Los Angeles political/entertainment circles, raised a lot of hackles last month for an e-mail that questioned Barack Obama's support of Israel.

Ziman has a new piece now circulating,  "The Road to the White House Is Paved By a Distorted Media," that chides the media for the coverage of the Eliot Spitzer story (she calls them "wolves" and uses the admonishment "shame on you") but charges that they've treated Obama with kid gloves. But she also questions whether and why he has changed his name, and again brings up his support of Israel.

(According to Newsweek, AIPAC says Clinton, Obama and McCain "have strong congressional voting records on issues important to the U.S.-Israel relationship.")

Is this just my East-Coast bias showing, or is it a little funny to anyone else to have a bigwig from LA -- specifically from the entertainment business -- upset about a possible name change??  (e.g. Fred Astaire, Marilyn Monroe, and a jillion others)

The funniest comment so far on the article has some strong language and includes the statement, "Black is the new president"! =->

The coolest thing is that already, in spite of some people diving in to get all inflammatory, people are commenting "NOT THIS TIME".  Thank you G-d for Obama taking the high road, and doing it so well.  Bc I agree w/everything eodell said about no it's not going to magically make problems go poof, but it's a change, it's an opening we need, it's stepping away from the call of the lowest common denominator.
