Spot on. Gerald has unraveled the messiah and come up with the same nothingness that is Obama.

I chuckled at his mention of how much money from the taxpayer coffers was spent in Obama’s speech last night.

He plans to end US dependence on Middle East oil in 10 years. Sceptics will note that target is two years after the latest date at which he could constitutionally end his putative term of office.

Proof again he's full of, um, hot air.

Spot on. I love the last paragraph:

For British viewers, this was a moment not of nostalgia, but of deja vu: the early Blair years revisited. Western pseudo-democracy is fuelled by politicians' speeches: the cynical manipulation of public emotion through the confection of ever more meaningless patterns of words. It is the few relatively factual passages that may now scupper Obama. But he will not mind because, as he said, this election is not about him.

another dollop of sub-Kennedy rhetoric

That's like being punched in th eye in a dark room,i.e., not exactly sure what it was, but you know it hurt. I do like a good turn of phrase.

The last paragraph sums it up nicely. Worth a read.

It’s all about them.
