I am so proud of grandfathers people! Some older jews had issues
with Obama's race, but Sarah Silverman's "The Great Schlep" has helped turn the tide. Younger influencing their grandchildren. The best to sell something or someone is word ol mouth.

1. On CNN they had a segment on The Great Schlep. There was a guy that flew down to Florida to speak
to his grandparents about Obama. He spoke to them over the phone for months. When he flew down to Florida he found out that he already convinced them to vote for Obama. So he decided to have a townhall meeting with 100 people. By the time he was done he had the entire room yelling yes we can! Now you may not get everyone but if he could 75 to 80 % this race could be over.

3. I have a difficult time understand the racist Jews. They, of all people, should know what it feels
like to be hated. Why do they hate others? Many of them are or have family members who suffered and/or died during the Holocaust. I simply don't understand how Jews can be racists and how blacks can be anti-Semites.

5. People tend to inflict what they suffer from.
