    I, too, get that sense of introspection, of a calm center, of reflection from Obama. I've not seen it in a candidate in a very long time. the problem, if it is that, is that introspection is little valued in American public life. bombast, phony patriotism, a permanent salesperson's grin- you know, Ray-gun, the fascist Idol, the prototype of politics for the last 25 years.
