Every time I see an interview on the street of someone anticipating seeing Obama speak in person, they seem to be in emotional spasms of ecstasy, about to pee their pants. Here are some worst cases:
Chris Matthews responding to a speech; "The feeling most people get when they hear Barrack Obama's speech...I felt this thrill going up my leg..."
Jesse Jackson said regarding the DNC; “The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.”
Spike Lee said that after the upcoming presidential election, “You’ll have to measure time by ‘Before Obama' and ‘After Obama.’”
Louis Farrakhan said; “A black man with a white mother became savior to us” and “could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”
Has Obama really risen, in nineteen months, from relatively unknown Senator rookie to this level of hype? Can we fault anybody from poking a little fun?
