Learn more about Obama
It now seems almost certain that the Clinton/Obama battle will end in May or early June regardless of the Clintons' insistence to go to the convention. And it seems very likely that Barack Obama will be the nominee.
For those who are still not sure about Obama, I respectfully recommend the following thoughtful and informative magazine articles for your perusal; they are online and in libraries:
Newsweek, March 31st, cover story: The Obama Dividend and other articles.
Rolling Stone, March 20th, cover story: several articles.
New York Review of Books, current issue (April 17th) has an article on the two candidates entitled Molehill Politics, by Elizabeth Drew.
Atlantic Monthly, December issue, cover story, Goodbye To All That: Why Obama Matters, by Andrew Sullivan and other articles.

Thank you very much for posting this. I really feel like there has been so much superficial stuff floating around out there that people really need to learn more about Obama's bio, which is quite impressive. If you know a lot about him and have heard many of his speeches, you're not swayed by something like the Wright controversy.
I must admit, however, that when I saw the title of this post, I thought it might be an anti-Obama post. Like - Find out the real truth (the dirt) on Obama! I'm glad I checked it out.

Susiehussein thanks for that comment. I thought this was a another "find out the truth about Obama" post also. Might consider a title change.
Excellent post. Lets put together a collection of current writing about Obama -favorable or unfavorable- that is truthful and accurate reporting assesment of his political agenda and his judgement.
