[Dialogue] Obama

Yes I saw an interview with him a few weeks ago, and also heard another on  
NPR. He is such a FINE person with so much integrity and caring -- it is  
contagious and a breath of fresh air!

Thanks, Carlos.   I am glad to see Edwards mentioned.  I was quite impressed 
with him a  couple of Sundays ago when he was on Meet the Press.  Russert 
bored in on  him, showed various clips of things Edwards had said before and I 
thought  Edwards handled it all candidly and honestly.  He didn’t weasel, he  wasn
’t defensive, he didn’t spout platitudes, he just admitted where he’d been  
wrong, explained if it made sense.  For instance, he said before voting  
authority for Bush’s war, he checked carefully with Clinton administration  people 
who should know and they told him they were afraid of what Saddam  Hussein was 
up to with weapons of mass destruction.  I would say that in  my 80 years, I 
have never felt so strongly that a candidate was speaking  honestly, from his 
own heart, and not mouthing “smart campaign” fodder from  Rove-like managers. 
 If he keeps it up, he will at least provide a  contrast to the slick 
campaigning of others.  I will be watching  carefully.  I am all for electability, 
and I hope the American people  aren’t again suckered in by very skillful, high 
powered opinion manipulators  of either party.
