When Barack Obama takes the oath of office on Jan. 20 as our first black president, it will be a watershed moment in history that Americans of all races, parties and persuasions can take pride in.

Electoral campaigns, like circus tents, quickly disappear after the show is over. But President-elect Barack Obama is our first community-organizer president, and he sees the way he got elected as being almost as crucial as the fact that he won. Because of the emphasis he put on organizing, barackobama.com might be seen as the most successful high-tech startup of the last two years....

He married a black woman, worked as a community organizer in the black community of the South Side of Chicago, and had the support of about 95% of black voters in the election. Therefore, unless Zawahiri, an Egyptian Arab, knows something that 95% of black people in America don’t he needs to hold this accusation to himself.The...

In many ways, Barack Hussein Obama's story is similar to mine. He has an uncommon name, is the son of an immigrant, lived in a Muslim country for part of his childhood, was educated at Harvard, and worked as a community organizer. I, too, have an Arabic name, am the child of an immigrant, spent a part of high school in the Middle East, graduated from Harvard, and worked among my hometown...
