Obama Baby

The Next Verse in the American Song

Obama packed the house at Tulane. People lined up before dawn. BEFORE DAWN.

"Here, in the city that gave us jazz, we know that even the most painful note can be followed by joy. Here, in this city, if we look hard enough, we can imagine the unseen - homes filled with families; businesses putting folks to work; schools extending opportunity; the next verse in the American song."

Read this speech in its awesome entirety here.

Bill is propelled by Cheneyesque paranoia, as well. His visceral reaction to Obama — from the "fairy tale" line to the inappropriate Jesse Jackson comparison — is rooted less in his need to see his wife elected than in his need to see Obama lose, so that Bill's legacy is protected. If Obama wins, he'll be seen as the closest thing to J.F.K. since J.F.K. And J.F.K. is Bill's hero.
