I love how he doesn't talk down to the children, just honest, straight forward answers.

I just listened to his announcement speech. It was very good. I got emotional, hard to explain, it just happened. He's definitely got something. "A new American spring"

Love this image right after he finished...

We are going to find our real quick what people really think about gay marriage.

I guess the choice would be a gay guy or thrice-married ***** grabber.

This is absolutely worth reading:

https://www.newyorker.com/news...iegs-quiet-rebellion

And this, by Andrew Sullivan:

http://nymag.com/intelligencer...ional-candidate.html

And this, which Axios quoted:

quote:
Sick of old people? He looks like Alex P. Keaton. Scared of young people? He looks like Alex P. Keaton. Religious? He’s a Christian. Atheist? He’s not weird about it. Wary of Washington? He’s from flyover country. Horrified by flyover country? He has degrees from Harvard and Oxford. Make the President Read Again? He learned Norwegian to read Erlend Loe. Traditional? He’s married. Woke? He’s gay. Way behind the rest of the country on that? He’s not too gay.

Worried about socialism? He’s a technocratic capitalist. Worried about technocratic capitalists? He’s got a whole theory about how our system of "democratic capitalism" has to be a whole lot more "democratic."

If you squint hard enough to not see color, some people say, you can almost see Obama the inspiring professor. Oh, and he’s the son of an immigrant, a Navy vet, speaks seven foreign languages (in addition to Norwegian[:] Arabic, Spanish, Maltese, Dari, French, and Italian), owns two rescue dogs, and plays the goddamn piano.

So far he tops my list. Waiting to hear some policy specifics, especially on health care.

I've read analysis that suggests he is deliberately avoiding policy specifics, strategically. He doesn't want to be another Clinton-like wonk, despite being one. And he doesn't want to put up easy targets for Trump and Parscale to demagogue.

I dont care about policy specifics. I want the orange menace out. I would vote for the dog catcher. I would vote for the dog.

I don't see Obama in mayor Pete. I see JFK, someone who represents a new generation and a new era. He's got charisma to burn and that's what wins over voters.

Yes, he's so far been pretty light on policy.
