“Putting politics aside for one moment, the victory of this talented, passionate, brilliant man whose life story is perhaps even more incredible than his singular achievement in winning the nomination should be a source of enormous pride for all Americans.”
Hyperbolize much? This is right up there with Chris Matthews’ take on the Obama Wright speech. “Worthy of Abraham Lincoln.”
When I look at Obama, I don’t see a passionate man, for he stands for nothing – as witnessed by the entire Wright debacle. I don’t see a brilliant man, he’s made far too many newbie mistakes in this campaign. He’s a talented speech giver, if you’re not looking for substance. He’s a master of being a blank canvas so that people can paint their own masterpiece of what he’s about.
Question: Suppose he was a white guy. Would he still be so brilliant and talented?
