Our Empathy Cafe and the Empathy documentary project were mentioned in an article by Laura Casey in the Contra Costa Times and cross posted to several Bay Areas Newspaper websites. You can see the full article at these links.

El Cerrito's Edwin Rutsch says he understands every angle of the empathy discussion, the words that have come out of Obama's mouth and the reactions from political pundits, Republicans and Democrats alike. For the last year or so, Rutsch has been compiling news clips and interviews of the president and his supporters and detractors for a documentary on empathy. He even counted how often the word was used during Sotomayor's confirmation hearing — more than 250 times.
"Not a lot of people are aware of how much Obama talks about empathy," he says, pointing to a nearly two-hour video he's created that includes clips from Obama's speeches. The video, some of which will be part of a documentary he is producing titled "Barack Obama and New Spirit of Empathy," can be viewed at www.progressivespirit.com/empathy.

"Empathy, to me, is one of the most important values people have to bring us together," he says. Rutsch also hosts "Empathy Cafes," gatherings in the East Bay for people to talk about empathy and what it means in their lives. He's convinced that Obama's election was a clear signal that the country wants more empathy.
