Dabashi concluded by writing that Obama's pro-Israel stance "spells out the particulars of his own moral depravity and political cowardice." However, Dabashi stated the Obama was preferable to Republican Candidate John McCain because "even if [Obama] has sold his soul, ... he used to have one. That is not the case with McCain."[16]"Jayhttp://marxistupdate.blogspot.com/2011/09/reply-to-reader-bearded-ones.html#commentsnoreply@blogger.com
