"dignity, even majesty"? Gag me with a spoon, I think I'm going to be sick.

I wonder when this was written. Somehow I don't think it was in the last week or 10 days. Some of the magic has begun to evaporate in the last few days. One can only hope. The last thing we need is to elect a President in some kind of hysterical swoon.

"We need to recover the spiritual and moral direction that should describe our country and ourselves. We see this in Obama, and we see the promise he represents to bring factions together, to achieve again the unity that drives great change and faces difficult, and inconvenient, truths and peril."

What???? Such pablum.

"A New Hope". Cue the Star Wars music. Obama "Luke Skywalker" v. Hillary "Empress" and Bill "Darth Vader" Clinton.

Like Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama challenges America to rise up, to do what so many of us long to do: to summon "the better angels of our nature."

Hmm... Right, my "better" Hero and Warrior archetypes are getting a little rusty... gotto dig them up and dust them off.

Lets have us a constructive little civil shakeup in the name of progress - and change America for the better. Sounds like a majestic prospect.

Obama with Lincolnesque characteristics?

Puhleeeze!!!

Jan Wenner must've taken a little too much blotter acid back in the '60s.
