It includes Jesse Dylan, Will.i.am, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock*, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger and Nick Cannon. Scarlett Jo is a vocal Obama supporter. (No pun intended.)<BR/><BR/>I'm not exactly sure who put it together, but the Obama people did not. It was an outside effort, as I understand it.David Anthony Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885922955551669016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-8499169940260853932008-02-06T17:32:00.000-05:002008-02-06T17:32:00.000-05:00Enjoyed that video - who put it together?

It doesn't mean we're not saying what we mean, right? Sometimes I just find that what I mean often lies between the lines a bit...David Anthony Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885922955551669016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-48267454409806431372008-02-05T01:09:00.000-05:002008-02-05T01:09:00.000-05:00I try my best to avoid hyperbole, but if you read ...I try my best to avoid hyperbole, but if you read between the lines (or just read the lines, I guess! :P), you'd probably get the idea that most historical fiction frustrates me. Since I wasn't frustrated that much (there were a few, minor occasions that I touched upon, but in many of those cases, I felt it was my own particular biases at play more than what you had written), it was easy for me to write a positive review.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I've read all four of them, although I still need to write reviews of <I>Gabriel's Story</I> and <I>Walk Through Darkness</I>. I read those during a point in my professional life where I wasn't in the mood to comment on anything. Thankfully, I left that position and am in a better frame of mind to do a re-read/review :DLarry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-9273715226846299742008-02-04T23:51:00.000-05:002008-02-04T23:51:00.000-05:00Hi Larry,Thanks for that review.

I can't ask for more than that.<BR/><BR/>So that means you've read ALL four of my published books?
