I write less on www.ericrush.com than I did here, so I'll start paying attention to this again. Working on a new book: It's Too Bad I'll Never Build Another House Because Next Time I'd Know What I Was Doing

Supporting Obama

I just joined Barack Obama's campaign for president. The article "Why Obama Matters" by Andrew Sullivan in The Atlantic, Dec 07, persuaded me to support him in spite of my primary objection: Obama's flawed view of The Second Amendment.

It will take decades for this nation to repair the damage the Bush administration his inflicted on our moral and political standing in the world. Sullivan's arguments for why Obama is the best candidate to begin this process are convincing.

As for The Second Amendment, the courts are beginning to define it in terms of original intent. Soon we will know if the Supreme Court will take on D.C. vs Heller. If it does, and if the Supreme Court affirms the lower court's opinion that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right, what any president thinks of it will be at least muted and at most irrelevant.

So please take a moment to learn more about Barack Obama. There's a place in his campaign for all of us.
