BARACK OBAMA ON M.K. GANDHI, today at OpedNews!

http://www.opednews.com/articles/BARACK-OBAMA-On-Gandhi-s-B-by-Stephen-Fox-081010-196.html

Having studied Gandhi since 1974 with a reverence some reserve for the Bible and for the Koran, I am really happy to see Obama was strongly influenced by the life and teachings of Gandhi, as well.

Gandhi is ultimately the most practical and useful of all theologians, politicians, lawyers, strategists, and near-saints.

Notable that Obama mentions Gandhi's connection to Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama. Your comments and insights are great, so please share them by also posting them after the OpEdNews posting of this article.

Thank you,

Stephen Fox, Contributing Editor, New Mexico Sun News
