http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog_rss/jimharrold/html I am a great admirer of Senator Obama who does happen to be my senator here in chicago. I am pulling for him to do well in my native Iowa and beyond. I am getting concerned about how unfairly he is being portrayed in the press. Today he is getting hammered for his true comments about afghanistan. All I want to say to the Senator is- courage. You have it and it has to pay off. Keep speaking fearlessly and taking the hits because after a few days what you say turns out to be absolutely correct. Keep up the good work.
