I decided to post this picture (From left to right, Michelle Obama, then Illinois state senator Barack Obama, Columbia University Professor Edward Said and Mariam Said at a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Edward Said gave the keynote speech. (Image from archives of Ali Abunimah). I am certain of this: if Obama advances in the presidential race, the dirty trickmisters of the Clinton campaign will make a big deal of this picture. Mark my words. (Ali: the Clinton campaign people may make you very famous, soon. Beware).
