Obama again

I haven't mentioned anything political on the blog for a while (at least I don't think I have). The reason is that I have become extremely frustrated with the Democratic nomination and I have developed somewhat of an anti-Hillary bias. Every time I feel tempted to post something political, it is always something poking fun at Hillary. I suspect that unless you share my bias, a bunch of Hillary mocking posts would get old fast (the search phrases involving Hillary were NOT mine).

My frustration has also meant that I haven't really been paying a lot of attention to what is going. But this recent, and ridiculous, flap about Obama's bitter voters comment, lead me to the video below. It is Obama speaking at at a recent rally in Pennsylvania. This is what fascinates me about Obama (and it happens every time) - When I started watching the video, I saw it was 9 minutes long. I figured I would watch a minute or two and then move on. But before I new it, I was totally sucked in. After about 5 minutes I had a smile on my face and was saying to myself, "Man! This guy is cool!"

I guess this is the reason why when Obama starts campaigning in a state, his poll numbers start rising.
