This evening I sat down and read the speech that Barack Obama gave a few days ago. I’d read exerpts before - quite a few exerpts - but I hadn’t read it from beginning to end. Now I have. Word for word. BHO is a very good speaker, but we already knew that. I’d really like to like him. People are getting positively orgasmic talking about what a statesman he is. I would really like to like him. However, I read the speech critically, which means that I read all the feel-good rhetoric without getting so caught up in it that I didn’t pay attention to what he was really saying. And it was difficult to be critical because he certainly has a way with words. However, there’s no way around that he is not simply a liberal - he is about as far left as a person can be. He hit all the liberal key words and basically tried to make it sound lofty that he would continue to support Jeremiah Wright. I was hoping for substance, but all I read were some really pretty words.
