  "...Viewing this Obama presentation has so diminished him and his campaign in my mind that he too becomes unsupportable.

  An utterly vacuous 3 minutes, of (primarily) attractive females purring pathetic platitudes is as disgraceful an approach to campaigning as anything the Clintons have ever perpetrated upon the public...."

  Uh, it's not an "Obama presentation." He had nothing to do with it other than someone gloaming onto his persona. The article makes that plain as well as highlight why he stole a march on the Clinton campaign. A guy who had barely turned 23 when Apple's "1984" campaign came out and who had evolved with the computer and, later, the Net was, along with his campaign guru, Howard Axelrod, in a far better position than a Mark Penn or Hillary Clinton to grasp the potential of the p.c. and the Internet as a vehicle to not only reach millions but get them motivated--an idea, at least in its nascent stage, Howard Dean's campaign manager, Joe Trippi, has to be credited with recognising, even though the old media grabbed his candidate by the voice-box to choke the life out of Dean's candidacy.

  So, again, why blame Obama for the machinations, silly or otherwise, of another?
