I'm not a card carrying member of the Barack Obama fan club (yet) but then I don't think he is either. I'd like to see him get some more years in the Senate to build up some legislative cred and yet the more I hear, specific this report, the more I like.
Besides Obama showing thought and reasoning in positions, it appears he's not using the crutch of charisma (which he has) but rather talking to people as adults and I think that's what people are responding to - being real.
After nearly seven years of cowboy politics, a blatantly anti-intellectual president, war crimes and half-retarded thinking, Barack Obama is a revelation. Maybe it's finally time for cooler heads to prevail. God knows could use it.
