...Criticizing Obama by suggesting he isn't American enough is absurd. America is a nation of immigrants; they built it and thrived in it. I would say that because Barack Obama exemplifies this melting pot, he is more American than many of us. But this brand of attack is not new, as the article implies. I think of the 1920s and the red scare and the extreme nationalism that led to immigrant quotas. Don't we all look back at that time and shudder at how we treated those who came from another place? Our incredible ingenuity, our innovation...
...means for contesting Soviet communism. Now, with the end of the Cold War, and in the messy world that has taken shape in its aftermath, it is time for America to show leadership again. In his set-piece speech on foreign policy in Chicago in April 2007, for example, Barack Obama identified no less than five ways in which the U.S. should lead the world. But John McCain made the point with greatest clarity in his speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council in March...
Childers is outpolling and outspending Davis, and Childers will benefit from an estimated 100,000-plus new Democratic registrations in Mississippi, many of them African Americans inspired by Barack Obama.

...Spring of 2006, Joe Klein wrote a column for us titled "Barack Obama Isn't Not Running for President," in which Joe basically predicted that the first-term Senator would throw his hat in the ring. In October of that year, we put Joe's story about Obama on the cover and called it "Why Barack Obama Could Be the Next President." This was long before many people even gave the first-term Chicago Senator a chance to win the Democratic nomination. Joe has been tracking every step of Obama's journey and marking the Senator's evolution along...
Almost exactly two years ago, I had my first formal interview with Barack Obama - and he appeared on this magazine's cover for the first time. It wasn't an easy interview. His book The Audacity of Hope had just been published, but his policy proposals didn't seem very audacious. He actually grew a bit testy when I pushed him on the need for universal health insurance and a more aggressive global-warming policy - neither of which he supported. He has stayed with his less-than-universal health-care plan, and I still find it less than convincing...
