Obama and Tikkun Olam

There is this interesting piece over at Daily Kos about Obama's use of the ideas of "tikkun olam" and "repair of the world," which is pretty interesting. Not sure exactly how much I buy it--- yet.
The author ties in the famous Rabbi Hillel quote at the end, all of which yield some humorous comments.

Also, I have recently discovered that the blogspeak acronym of MSM for "mainstream media" is confusing to me because my first thought whenever I see MSM is "men who have sex with men," which it's also used for, often in public health contexts. Someone needs to clear this up....it's very confusing.

Update: Kate Clinton mentions this very same "MSM" confusion on her recent video blog.
