Not Much Awe

Our ObamaNation News Brief

Rich Cohen wrote the following:

"This is the president we now have: He inspires lots of affection but not a lot of awe. ... But the ultimate in realism is for the president to gauge himself and who he is: Does he have the stomach and commitment for what is likely to continue to be an unpopular war? Will he send additional troops, but hedge by not sending enough -- so that the dying will be in vain? What does he believe, and will he ask Americans to die for it? Only he knows the answers to these questions. But based on his zigzagging so far and the suggestion from the Copenhagen trip that the somber seriousness of the presidency has yet to sink in, we have reason to wonder."

Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
Lots of talk
Lots of affection
Lots of vanity
Not a lot of awe
Blame Rio and Bush
