What is driving Obamamania, this upswelling of support for Barack Obama. Now that he has been elected as the 44th president of the United States, will his support remain?
Khalidi of the PLO : Martin Kramer provides several updates , including some clarification:
Khalidi was not part of the official Palestinian delegation, whose 14 members all came from the West Bank and Gaza. He belonged to a six-person advisory panel which came to Madrid precisely to serve as a conduit between the official delegation and the PLO. The Israeli government was not at all pleased with this addition, and the New York Times ran a story about it under the headline: “Israelis... Read Full Story

John Batchelor wrote October 30, 2008, on his blog:
The Restrictive Covenant Revealed
Startling information this news cycle from a totally fresh source, published on a modest and quiet blog, GOPMom , “From Tony to Barack, Part 1,” that points to documents that reveal the full explanation as to how Barack Obama and his fixer Tony Rezko hatched and executed the complex deal to purchase the Obama mansion between January and June 2005.
Revealed for the first instance, to my knowledge and... Read Full Story

Obama Mania has extended to an amazingly fun and sweet new book called Thanks and Have Fun Running The Country: Kids’ Letters to President Obama . After the election of President Obama, hundreds of 6 to 14-year-olds in cities across the country were asked: “What should President Obama do now?” Here is one of my favorite letters from the book:

When I visited my relatives in the D.C. (Deep Country) areas of South Carolina, one thing I always noticed when I was younger was that in practically every shotgun hovel, cinder block house, and mobile home we went to, they all had three things in common: A picture of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Jesus Christ (the long haired white version). Hope and liberation. So last week, Thanksgiving found me back in the D.C., back in the heart of the same territory my relatives have... Read Full Story
In “Fight Fight the Smears”, Stanley Kurtz (right), who has been researching and reporting–factually and backed by documentation–about Ayers, Obama and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, as well as Obama’s long-time relationship with ACORN, recently wrote about Obama’s membership in and backing from the New Party .
Now, it seems, Obama’s “Truth Squad” at Fight the Smears has labeled Kurtz a “‘right-wing hatchet man’ and worse.”
Kurtz writes:
Seems to me the Obama camp is genuinely... Read Full Story

Ebony magazine and its weekly counterpart, Jet news magazine put faces with the names of so many of the rest of black America – local politicians, lessor entertainers, up and coming sports stars – for young children like myself who grew up in the late sixties and early seventies, when positive black images in the media were few and far between. So I thought it was especially fitting that Barack Obama, the nation's first black president-elect, give his first print interview to Ebony . It... Read Full Story
