Why Obama Is Different
Filed Under Barack Obama, Election 2008
Ever wonder why Barack Obama doesn’t drive conservatives crazy — unlike Hillary Clinton, Dick Durbin and a host of other Democrats?
Eric Schansberg spots a Mona Charen article that explains why Obama doesn’t bother the right too much:
It says a great deal about a liberal Democrat that he does not outrage conservative Republicans. To mention the Clintons, Howard Dean, Al Gore, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi or John Kerry to this crowd is to inflict hypertension. But I, for one, can sit through an entire speech by Barack Obama without flinching. I can admire his poise, his fluid delivery, and his self-confident, dignified presence.
Part of the reason Obama doesn’t send his political adversaries up the wall is that he employs the language of unity and patriotism. He is clearly the most gifted speaker to grace American politics since Ronald Reagan. And as with Reagan, there is a basic decency to Obama that blunts dislike.
