One Article That Began My Love For Obama
Andrew Sullivan is a commentator for the The Atlantic who I have read for some time. He is similar to me in certain ways (i.e. gay and libertarian) and yet different in others (i.e. he's still a non-apologetic Catholic).
Back in November of last year, he posted an article that would be published in the December article of The Atlantic that began my love for Obama.
Please take the time to read his well thought-out article and ruminate on the many ways we need Obama in this particular moment in history.
The article begins:
The logic behind the candidacy of Barack Obama is not, in the end, about Barack Obama. It has little to do with his policy proposals, which are very close to his Democratic rivals’ and which, with a few exceptions, exist firmly within the conventions of our politics. It has little to do with Obama’s considerable skills as a conciliator, legislator, or even thinker. It has even less to do with his ideological pedigree or legal background or rhetorical skills. Yes, as the many profiles prove, he has considerable intelligence and not a little guile. But so do others, not least his formidably polished and practiced opponent Senator Hillary Clinton.
