H/t Andrew Sullivan for drawing attention to this video segment, above; it’s well worth your time. And personally, I think the young man featured in this segment has a shot at running for and winning the Presidency some day.
On the larger questions — Is Obama nothing more than empty rhetoric? Are his supporters slightly unhinged? — check out Sullivan’s take on the subject, preceding this video. Money line: “… the strongest case for Obama is not emotional; it is as coolly rational as he is.”
I trust Democrats in the remaining primary and caucus states are considering these points, especially if they want to win the White House later this year.
