Of all the words and phrases that have been tossed around by pundits and politicos in describing the Obama presidency, which have included everything from Kennedy-esque to closet Quran worship, the one that never really stuck was "political miscalculation." While the Obama administration has been consistently hammered, fairly or not, for its stances relating to domestic and foreign policy, it was thought difficult, if not impossible, to find a chink in the armor of its political foresight. Its ability to navigate the tides of perception and political consequence within its own base come as no surprise given the president's education in a Cook County political system that forces those involved to think three steps ahead with one eye forward and the other peering over their shoulders.

I would like to publicly thank UF President Bernie Machen for moderating the Jewish Awareness Month and Accent show featuring Alan Dershowitz event this past Wednesday evening.

When UF’s Hillel should be focusing on celebrating its winter Festival of Lights, the organization for Jewish college students is, instead, trying to persevere in the face of alleged anti-Semitism.
In an effort to show unity and take a stand against hate, members of the UF Jewish community gathered together to reassemble the large menorah in the Hillel garden Monday night.

Students got a little lesson on Israeli international relations Thursday afternoon.
I agree with Micah Lukowitz’s Monday letter. A strong alliance with Israel is absolutely essential to promoting democracy in the Middle East.
Some political commentators argue Israel is a strategic liability to the foreign policy interests of the United States and that America would benefit from lessening or cutting ties with Israel. Although the U.S.-Israel alliance, just like any alliance, isn’t perfect, the commonalities and intensive cooperation between Israel and the U.S. make Israel an indispensable American ally.
UF’s Hillel is feeling the rhythm and blues.
