He is young and does not have the good old boy mentality and the knee-jerk partisonship so prevalent in Washington today.
He reminds me of the John F. Kennedy running in the 1960s.
I do think some people will slam him for going to a Muslim school as a kid and that is a shame. Some people will be prejudiced because he is bi-racial.
I hope Israeli media will let him flesh out his platform and specific political viewpoint on the ME before they judge him.
I had written last week about how hateful American citizens posting on AOL the day he announced his plans to run for President.
There is still much prejudice and bigotry in the US despite being a melting pot.
I hope you all give him a break and do not pre-judge.
