6. Admittedly Zuckerman is a different creature from Obama
and that no doubt accounts for a lot of the disparities in viewpoints. Of course, hindsight is always 20-20 as well:


Mortimer Benjamin "Mort" Zuckerman (born June 4, 1937)<1> is a Canadian-born American magazine editor, publisher, and real estate billionaire. He is a naturalized citizen of the United States.

In 2008, Zuckerman was the 147th wealthiest American,<2> and in 2007, he was the 188th<3> as per Forbes. In 2006, he was ranked 382.<4> The increase was related to the sale in 2007 of 5 Times Square and 280 Park Avenue in New York, which together realized US$2.5 billion for his company, Boston Properties, Inc.<5>

He has been the publisher/owner of the New York Daily News since 1993 and, as of 2007, is the current Editor-in-Chief of U.S. News & World Report. He co-founded Boston Properties, Inc. in 1970. He is chairman of the board, and director...

...In addition to his publishing and real-estate interests, Zuckerman is also a frequent commentator on world affairs, both as an editorialist and on television. He regularly appears on MSNBC and The McLaughlin Group, and writes columns for U.S. News & World Report and the New York Daily News. Since the late 1970s, Zuckerman has donated more than $68,000 to American political candidates, with $42,700 going to Democratic politicians and $24,000 to independent interests..."
