Senator Obama's Testimony

Again, I am making an exception to my "No New York Times" articles policy for an exceptional article that I don't think will be found elsewhere for a while.

This article contains within it what is essentially the testimony of Senator Barack Obama, detailing his upbringing, his early life, and how he came to his faith. It gives a glimpse (albeit a glimpse not without spin) of the character of this man who would be the democratic nominee for president, and the priorities in his life. His story is far more political than most I have heard/read - he does not speak of a movement within his heart convicting him of his sin, but rather a sudden sense of connection between Israel of old and the black communty in modern imes - but it seems genuine to me. I know the heart of no other human being, but the words are right and the sentiment is there. I hope he speaks more about this in the future.
