I don't know if it was the best speech ever, but it sure beats "fer us or ginst us *snicker*".

[Hap]

From David Brooks of the NYT, he concludes, "Obama has benefited from a week of good images. But substantively, optimism without reality isn’t eloquence. It’s just Disney."

There's the linky ----> http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/25/opinion/25brooks.html?_r=1&ref=opinion&oref=slogin

I know Brooks from watching him on the News Hour which means I don't know him much.  He seems to be a common sense sort of guy with no particular axe to grind.

[Hap]

Hey, I'll be voting for him.  If he really is as kooky as he portrays himself as, and not the middle ground Democrat we sometimes see now, it'll kick off the revolution that much sooner.

What is the right word . . . .?

[Yeager]

but it sure beats "fer us or ginst us *snicker*".

Mama always said: "people who *snicker* are untrustworthy and prone to lying."

[angelsandair]

You think maybe he should have been a bit more arrogant?  What would you have said differently? 

He could tell the world that he is going to kill the white man and make it look so good, white people will vote for him...

nice to see there are many kool aid fans in europe too ....

the story isn't the bro's speech, it is the pass the mainstream press is giving this guy in their attempt to get him into the WH ... amazing

The Times has the best coverage:

From there he went forth to Mesopotamia where he was received by the great ruler al-Maliki, and al-Maliki spake unto him and blessed his Sixteen Month Troop Withdrawal Plan even as the imperial warrior Petraeus tried to destroy it.

And lo, in Mesopotamia, a miracle occurred. Even though the Great Surge of Armour that the evil Bush had ordered had been a terrible mistake, a waste of vital military resources and doomed to end in disaster, the Child's very presence suddenly brought forth a great victory for the forces of the light.

And the Persians, who saw all this and were greatly fearful, longed to speak with the Child and saw that the Child was the bringer of peace. At the mention of his name they quickly laid aside their intrigues and beat their uranium swords into civil nuclear energy ploughshares.
