I was really struck by this photo , which graced the cover of Tuesday's New York Times, showing Ariel Sharon, Condoleeza Rice and James Baker attending a memorial of the late Yitzhak Rabin in Israel. There's something in that picture...in Rice's face, jaw set, eyes hidden behind rockstar sunglasses...and how she is flanked on either side by two men who've played hard-ball power politics for decades: Ariel Sharon, peering beneath his furrowed brow and, always conscious he is being observed, gesturing and thinking...and James Baker, completely hidden behind a permanent dimplomatic mask, an impenetrable sphinx. Of course, that photo sends a powerful message to the world. Rice was in Israel to do serious business . The fact that she brought Baker with her meant that the full weight of the U.S. military-industrial complex... the old guard ...was with her. That trip to Israel was important; and I would guess that U.S. plans and actions regarding Syria were part of that

We have all waited for a leader who could unite us. He has arrived. Now it is up to us. We need to get behind him and support him.
If we don’t, we will get the age old divisive politics… and that includes Hillary.
Obama’s strong record and lifetime achievements show that he not only talks a great vision, but he acts on it as well.
Please give of your time, support, and, yes, donations if possible. however, if you do nothing else, talk to others. We need to do our part.
Yes, we can.
I predict an Obama Bounce abroad, as the USA regains its stature, as we go back to doing what we do best, innovating and inventing, and finally living up the the 142 year old promise.
You can put the Obama video on your blog with one click at the Obama site to get the code, and then a quick wander into layout, rather than post. Click on "add an element" and chose an html/script element, and past the code into the body. You can title it whatever you want, and it will show up on your blog. This works for Blogger just fine.

My first tutoring, with me as tutor, experience was at 53rd and some street west of San Pablo, in some church, back in 1966....
