Black idealism

Black people are the last idealists in this country:

Nearly two-thirds of black voters in the new poll said they could see one of their children becoming president, up 11 percentage points from the fall of 1992. At 47 percent, whites are about where they were back then on the question.

This man could be our next President

Read this:

In late January, on his campaign plane as we flew from Kansas after the El Dorado visit, I asked the senator about the wanderlust in his family that he had chosen to reject. ‘Part of me settling in Chicago and marrying Michelle was a conscious decision to root myself,’ he told me. ‘There’s a glamour, there’s a romance to that kind of life and there’s a part of that still in me. But there’s a curse to it as well. You need a frame for the canvas, because too much freedom’s not freedom.’ He laughed and added, ‘I’m waxing too poetic here.’

When was the last time we had a President with that much self-awareness?

What was he supposed to do?

Ben Smith reports:

A former aide is more understanding of his deceit: "He was running for president. What’s he supposed to do? Admit it?

Let's think. How about: not run for President? Thus he couldn't sabotage our chances of having a Democratic President with an October Surprise.
