OBonfire of the Vanity
In Vanity Fair (March 2008) there is a long background article about Barack Obama. There is a quote from Obama in there that captures his essence, and should tell thinking voters all they need to know about his suitability to be President.
Talking about his basketball playing days, Barack says "I had an overtly black game, behind-the-back passes, and wasn't particularly concerned about fundamentals."
The question is, do you want to vote for a guy that isn't concerned about fundamentals? Personally, I want all of my professionals to be concerned with fundamentals - my doctor, my lawyer, my accountant, my mechanic, my architect, the school crossing guard, my policemen, my firemen, my military, AND my president. Is there anyone who doesn't want his/her doctor to be concerned about fundamentals (both in medical school and in practice after medical school)? Is the choice of President any less critical than the choice of a doctor or a mechanic?
