in truth i like obama very little when he's in full southern preacher oratorical mode -- i much prefer his self-possesion in the debates
NOW THAT ALL THAT'S OVER, i wonder if i can accommodate a liking for an american president. i liked clinton, but he was essentially a comic figure -- the unctuous hypocrite and lecher, biting his lower lip and sticking out his thumb. whatever obama is, he isn't funny
