Obama


My major impression after seeing the man up close was what a natural. He's tall, and just seems to exist so comfortably in his skin. Its weird to watch someone in what was a very intimate setting, a historic barn in the background, an old railcar and farm behind us, and realize that the message being sent is being repeated over and over again across America.
The question is whether it is sticking with people. We all feel a sense of anxiety right now, wondering whether he is sufficiently hitting back against the GOP. I had hoped he would unveil some sharper attacks, but he did not. I guess in the end Obama has done the whole campaign his own unique way, and it has worked for him. So maybe he does know what he is doing.
Reggie Love came out and served as Obama's body double for telepromptering purposes. I yelled Duke sucks. just kidding.
