It’s the concern articulated in this opined portrayal of the Senator, by Michael David Cobb Bowen (whom I happen to consider one of the smartest, most original voices on the Web; black, white, or otherwise).
Now, I appreciate that my confession of reservations like those expressed by Mr. Bowen may cause some of you to hyperventilate — just as some of you hyperventilated over my recent, repeated, almost-hysterical defense of Obama in the face of the Rev. Wright-rooted accusations.
So be it.
Though my intent is not to make anyone hyperventilate, I’ll admit taking a certain solace in the role of equal-opportunity inducer of “WTF?” reactions.
