Obama's faith in the reasoning abilities of the American public
His speech underscored both the promise and the risk of his campaign strategy.
Glenn Greenwald [2008-03-18]

  • A couple of notes...

    @ nick

    -While reading and listening to this speech, I couldn't help but juxtapose the fact that the current occupant can't even properly pronounce the word "nuclear."-

    Yet no previous President, lawfully elected or otherwise, has had as much practice repeating this word.

    @ Chris Sinnard

    -He is so powerful he turned Sunnis into Shiites-

    And back again in 30 seconds flat....with a little help from friends.

    @ Retired Military Patriot

    -The economy and the war are not in McCain’s favor even if people believe the war is finally headed in a better direction.-

    Which they don't. CNN reports that 36% of Americans believe that the war has not been and is 'not worthwhile' and 'hurting the economy'. All correct, of course.

    -And don’t forget the number of new people that are getting into politics and voting in the primaries and general elections.-

    There is no doubt that this is to be a record turnout and it's chiefly because of the presence of Senator Obama in this nominating process and hopefully the general election that this is so, IMO. Sure, its also because America wants to punish and demote the GOP but if Obama were not a contender, the motivation to turn out would be somewhat muted compared to the phenomenon we are seeing in the primaries.
