A New Direction…
TweetThis is the end of OnMyMindBlog.com.
In the past few months I have tried to figure out exactly how I want to tackle the world of the personal blog. For sometime now I have curated a tumblr called On My Mind, and recently I started to curate and write a more tech specific blog. I have decided that I need one space to curate and write on a broader range of topics. So ReubenIngber.com is now little corner of the internet.
The new weblog is dedicated to technology, liberal arts and general curiosity. Here I will curate links and provide commentary on things I find interesting. As well I will continue to produce new original content, opinion pieces, reviews (apps/books/movies/music), and more.
I hope you enjoy this new direction, because I am extremely excited to make this happen.

Can Obama 2012 Replicate Bush 2004?
TweetHe’ll have hundreds of millions of dollars, the bully pulpit, Air Force One and high-profile supporters from Warren Buffet to Lady Gaga behind him. But President Obama’s chances of re-election could come down to a single strategic question: To what degree can the history of 2004 be repeated in 2012?
A really interesting piece on the president’s reelection plans.

Rep. Howard Berman: This is no time to consider cutting aid to Israel
TweetHoward Berman wrote in the Washington Post:
The Oct. 18 Fine Print column by Walter Pincus, “U.S. must reevaluate its assistance to Israel,” was woefully misguided.
Our support for Israel is both moral and strategic. Assistance to Israel demonstrates to its enemies that the U.S. commitment to the Jewish state is unwavering; cutting that assistance would send the opposite message. This is especially important during a time of tremendous turmoil in the Middle East, and when Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas conspire daily to undermine U.S. and Israeli interests.
A strong and secure Israel serves U.S. national security interests in the Middle East. U.S. aid to Israel has helped deter major conflict in the region — conflict that would be very costly for us in many ways — by making it clear to potential enemies that they cannot defeat Israel.
Our assistance also gives Israel the confidence it needs to take risks for peace, as it has done repeatedly over the years. This confidence is reflected in the Israeli government’s unconditional commitment to negotiate if and when the Palestinians return to the table.
Finally, we benefit from close defense cooperation. Israel’s use of U.S. defense materials on the battlefield helps our military improve its equipment. Our soldiers also benefit from Israeli technological advances, including life-saving armor used extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The aid we provide to Israel to help ensure its existence, to combat our enemies and to promote American interests is only about one-tenth of 1 percent of the federal budget. In my opinion, this is money well spent.
