Lexington thinks Obama did well on his trip

Well, OK, Obama drew a large crowd in Germany, but other politicians have done that -- Adolph Hitler comes to mind. David Brooks had it about right on tonight's NewsHour on PBS when he said that Obama spoke platitudes and not much else. It's Obama's specialty. The constant repetition of "change" is sickening because it has no meaning. It's puzzling that so many people hear what Obama says and think he's different -- brighter, smarter, more well-meaning or whatever. Obama is a politician like the rest, maybe a little smoother than the others but no more likely to be a competent president. He's so inexperienced, so untested, that voting for him would be like drawing to an inside straight.

But Obama's the only liberal running who has a chance to win. Lexington is a liberal. Therefore, Lexington likes Obama.
