Yeah, the tacking back to center? I’m not an Obama-maniac. I think he’s a politician, just like all the rest. What I see is someone who understands ‘grey’ issues though, and tries to facilitate compromise positions to move things forward. That’s the nature of legal work, BTW.
Did you read the NYT article about his time at UChicago? Very enlightening. I think he would bring this same kind of pragmatism to governing. So I think it’s a good thing. It will cause a backlash with the crazy-dems though. Sucks for them. They don’t have a horse in the race… Kucinich lost again, apparently.
And I do agree, the guy is YOUNG. He’s way intelligent. Incredibly talented. But young. Look at the exams he put together for the ConLaw classes, They’re hilarious. Definitely a guy from MY generation (Gen-X). Which may be A GOOD THING.
What have we had like 20 years now of crap-head baby boomers mortgaging our future, dividing us up into red and blue states, impeaching lying presidents and reliving Vietnam? Maybe it’s time to move on. This was one of the things I saw, Obama’s from MY generation. We generally don’t like boomers. Time for the old people to let go. And man, is McCain OLD.
