“It is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be. That means working in the system,” wrote Alinsky.

Obama related his Alinsky quote to a suggestion that “peace” begins with the people and not just the leadership – a statement some may relate to community organizing.

It's a bonehead medal. We gave Perez one when he was here last year now he gives one to us.

It's sort of like Israel says, you give us a medal and a Billion Dollars and we'll give you a medal and a nice state dinner. OK? OK. :D
