POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY MICHAEL TOMASKY IN THE GUARDIAN
I have a hard time with anyone describing Obama as a "rockstar."
I know Mr. Tomasky is only referring to what others have said, but why grace nonsense with repetition?
It tells me that the person using the word has poor perceptions and judgment.
This is an exceptional man, full stop.
The fact that he appears as anything else to anyone but the weak-minded is testimony to the force of vacuous advertising and marketing on people's judgment.
The quality of Obama's words sometimes during his campaign had the same force and thoughtfulness as the best of FDR, as FDR's immortal phrase about having only fear to fear.
Was FDR's great phrase "rockstar" stuff?
If you analyze it, it has no hard meaning, it's only reassurance to troubled people.
And just so the best of Obama.
I believe that is called leadership.
