“What part is the satire?” All of it. “The enemy of my enemy (in this case, BHO) is my friend” - think of it in that vein. Brian B., am I wrong on this? We want our friends here to understand.

Yeah, I suppose you think that this also reeks of satire.........

I see a difference between the speech of Hillary and the crowd who supports her, and the speech of Obama and the crowd who supports him. Some describe the difference in terms of tenor of emotion of the Obama crowd, and try to contrast those who support Hillary as if they are less enthusiastic and thus she is lesser than Obama. And yet, that is not what I see, nor is it the truth. The supporters of Hillary, they are not a crowd. They are supporters. And yes, the supporters of Obama, they are a crowd. The difference between supporters and a crowd is, the crowd is mindless. Primitive. The speech of Obama isn’t full of depth. In fact, it is primitive. It is the speech of a cult leader, and the crowd that is before him is very much a cult. That is a difference between Hillary and Obama.

Baldwin nails it here.

I don't think there's anything in the the entire piece that can be characterized as satire.
