Barack Obama - U.S. Senator for Illinois - obama.senate.gov 'Call to Renewal' Keynote Address Wednesday, June 28, 2006 Washington, DC Good morning. I appreciate the opportunity to speak here at the Call to Renewal's Building a Covenant for a New America conference. I've had the opportunity to take a look at your Covenant for a New America. It is filled with outstanding policies and prescriptions for much of what ails this country. So I'd like to congratulate you all on the thoughtful presentations you've given so far about poverty and justice in America, and for putting fire under the...

We have reported on a number of incidents—almost all of them before the election—of Obama supporters and allies feeling emboldened in a rather scary way. Weasel Zippers posts on another such incident in . . . Chicago: Arrests at Obama Victory Rally, Woman Yells "White [expletive], [expletive] McCain--you White Police Can't do Nothing Anymore"...Then Proceeds to Slap a White Cop..... No doubt there was a fair amount of people who voted for Obama thinking that when Obama is president, I'll get what's coming to me.That's kind of lame, in that it's the typical lazy human impulse that gives seemingly...

President-Elect Senator Barack Obama’s running mate, Senator Joe Biden forecast that Obama would be tested by an international crisis within six-months of taking office. However, barely hours after Obama won, three governments all put in their own bids to make the forecast come true. Russia announced it was stepping up the pressure on Poland. “Poland’s agreement to allow U.S. weapons on its soil is an act of aggression we cannot overlook,” said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. “We reserve to ourselves the right to take preemptive intervention should we deem it necessary.” Iran demanded that Obama pull U.S. forces from the...

News comes today that Loui Luieye Farrakhan, the admitted Jew hater, sees Barak Obama as the "New Beginning". This isn't surprising, considering that they are neighbors and Barak was with Farrakhan during the Million Man March. What is surprising is that Farrakhan said this: Farrakhan painted many McCain voters as older whites living below the Mason-Dixon line, and said it pains those people to see a black person in power. He urged the crowd to reach out to people who may not like seeing blacks succeed, and help them change their views. I personally don't think that McCain voters think...

There's a coming crisis looming that may make every situation the world has faced since World War II look like a children's game. President-elect Obama isn't ready for it. Are you? There is already historical precedent that Israel will attack Iran during the U.S. Presidential transition. Israel attacked a target in Lebanon in December of 1988 - during the Reagan-Bush transition. In a Jerusalem Post article Historian Benny Morris describes that operation, and notes: The operation took place one month after US President George H. Bush was voted into office, and a month before he was sworn in, replacing the...

Hamas strongman Mahmoud Zahar on Friday said he hoped that Barack Obama's presidential election victory would open a new page in relations between the U.S. and the Muslim world. However, Zahar said he does not expect immediate change in U.S policy toward Hamas. The Bush administration is boycotting the Palestinian Islamist group, along with most of the international community.
