"The more you learn about him, the more Obama seems to be a conventionally opportunistic politician, impressively smart and disciplined, who has put together a good political career and a terrific presidential campaign. But there’s not much audacity of hope there. There’s the calculation of ambition, and the construction of artifice, mixed in with a dash of deceit — all covered over with the great conceit that this campaign, and this candidate, are different."

Just a little snippet from William Kristol's piece in the Times today:

Man-o-chewitz -- that has the ming of a smear piece from 30 paces...
The poor sod tries to distance himself from somebody who calls a spade a f@##%% shovel and all he gets for his trouble is another AA centric pastor saying "I told you so." And the campaign goes on without them.
The dishonour here is what, exactly?
I like the guy _because_ he doen't buy into attack. I don't think JGM (John Geriatric McCain) will have a handle to yank this guy (unlike somebody with documented paranoia and secrecy; normal to anybody who's been the press' B-word [thank you Tina Fey]).
Dunno -- this business is a steaming pile and McC, unfortunately, s the recipient of the disaffected.
Let's fix this.
Obama/Clinton: 2016 a slam dunk
"The more you learn about him, the more Obama seems to be a conventionally opportunistic politician, impressively smart and disciplined..."
That's real praise (not faint) in my book. The guy wants to be the political leader of the US of A. The thing that creeps me out about old OBAMA is this new-agey hope & change & free happy times bull cranky.
What exactly is our problem with electing politicians for, er, political office? That's their job people!
Darren,
Hello, my sweet. :)
Kristol? Really?
From the February 3 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:
BILL KRISTOL: Look, the only people for Hillary Clinton are the Democratic establishment and white women. The Democratic establishment -- it would be crazy for the Democratic Party to follow an establishment that's led it to defeat year after year. White women are a problem, that's, you know -- we all live with that.
