Typical
Typical can have a critical connotation, or it can mean what one would expect. Obama meant the latter not the former. Joan, I hope you would never want your career to be judged on an unfair interpretation of such a turn of phrase.
However, you are willing to use such an interpretation to damage the apparent Democratic nominee, without ever setting forth your own motives.
After posting here in January praising Obama's talk at Ebenezer on MLK day, I took the extra step of e-mailing you personally to ask if you had seen his performance then. You responded via e-mail to me that you loved it, but never posted your thoughts on it on Salon as far as I know.
If you were willing on Tuesday to accuse Obama of throwing his own loved grandma under the bus, I'm willing to accuse you of intellectual dishonesty in pursuit of a Hillary Clinton outcome.
P.S. You hoped, earlier this week, that Hillary would give a speech as equally eloquent as Obama's. Any luck?
