I Can't Stop Thinking About That Damn Speech

What if this is actually how the Obama campaign rolls now?

What if every single cry of "Unity" or "Yes We Can" we hear from this point forward is backed up with proof that we are actually divided and in need of common vision?

And that Obama understands exactly how the tattered remains of this democracy almost punish the individual would-be participant in favor of lobbyists, and understands that it takes more than YouTube to repair this basic structural problem?

What if instead of merely appearing risky, Obama actually took a substantive risk every single time he opened his damn mouth?

He is on the verge of actually becoming powerful by speaking truth, and this is a rare phenomenon in this relativist time. I hope he doesn't blow it.

At this point, I don't think Obama is going to change who he is, and who he is is pretty damn impressive.

It remains to be seen whether the rest of us are in for the long haul. He can't do anything alone.

Oh, BTW, one of the nastiest posts I read at NRO's the Corner accused him of a 'tragic, fatal moral relativism' in that speech. It's the difference between STJs and NFPs. Some people think that the only true 'morality' is a rigid, punitive and separatist one. Empathy is a closed book to them.

i agree
he is the first presidential canidate that i've ever bothered to pay attention to. i doubt any of them will really impact my life in positive ways, but he at least sounds HUMAN.
