Congratulations to Barack Obama…a man I was proud to have supported.  At the same time, I was blown away by the tone and content of John McCain’s concession speech last night. A portion of it I have included below.

Ellis Henican is a good buddy, a good guy, a helluva writer (for Newsday), Host & Commentator (Fox News) and one of our newest NY:MIEG Moderators (he did a great job at our “Social Media & The Presidential Election” event last week). His column,a personal, opinionated look at the news of the day appears in the paper’s front section every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday that appears in Newday is awesome.

His column in today’s Sunday Newsday “Voters, the choice is yours, so make it count” is right on target! Read more

The Long Island Debate

October 15, 2008 by Bill Sobel · Leave a Comment 

I just think it so cool that the debate took here on Long Island. I reminds me of the day back in 1987 when former CIA Director William Casey passed away. He had lived for many years down the street from my parents and the funeral took place at nearby St. Marys Church.

Not only were there police cars and secret service all over the place…but President Reagan arrived by presidential helicopter at our local town beach…how cool was that. Now here we are…21 years later…and Hofstra University was the host to what might turn out to be one of the most important and interesting debates in history…how cool is that.
