I can't vote in this country so its perhaps not my place to preach. That said, as a great many progressives are getting behind Obama right now, I thought I'd offer this gentle reminder about the way this man has sold his principles for such a cheap price. The Clinton - Obama "choice" is fraudulent. If Nader decides to run, I'll endorse him most likely. After Kucinich withdrew I was barely holding on with Edwards, who at least made poverty in this country an issue. Likely deep down Obama is an intellectual and thoughtful candidate. But he has sacrificed a lot for the endorsement of some very troubling friends.

"Obama offered not a single word of criticism of Israel, of its relentless settlement and wall construction, of the closures that make life unlivable for millions of Palestinians."
