MUSIC VIDEO: Hannah Friedman: ‘Oh, Obama’
Writer (and singer) Hannah Friedman stayed up all night to bring us this song
Obama’s victory resonates with L.A. Jews
For months there was constant talk about Obama's Jewish problem, a lingering fear -- with plenty of empirical evidence -- that an unusually high proportion of Democratic Jews were going to vote for McCain.
