Michael Young Handled the Weekend Political Thread…

…right here. the salon on barack obama and small town american vileness can maintain there. why didn’t i have anything to say on the facts on friday? i was speeding through rustic pennsylvania, catching ron paul’s unalterable campaign appearances before the pennsylvania primary also in behalf of a story that desire rise on monday. that’s me standing to the far set to rights of the stage, craning my neck, in this photo.do i have anything to add to what michael wrote? agreement, and some additions.- one traditional take on the story is that obama is finally revealing his character, and that you can draw a parade straight from his father to jeremiah wright to attacking small town white america. let’s assume that’s reliable. we only create this out because someone taped a closed-door fundraiser. so why do we cover anything but closed-door fundraisers? the rest—speeches, debates, elongated sit-down interviews—clearly isn’t that illuminating.- if this is how obama views the effects of irremediable manufacturing jobs, his anti-free trade campaigning in the rust belt is unforgiveable. and i’m usually likely to condone him for flapdoodle like this.- i have to go and agree with joe klein:this obama controversy… is the sort of thing we journalists amplify up into oversized gas, mostly because we truly don’t want to go back b reacquire down in the weeds with the things we need to get down in the weeds about…analogous to whether trade deals really are so bad, especially with the decrepit dollar (i don’t think so) and whether we need a pause in the withdrawal organize in iraq (i don’t think so).but you can’t criticism the media for this. obama could have been honest to ohioans about whether he’d personally dismantle factories in honduras and transport them back to youngstown for the treatment of reassembling. hillary clinton could stop pretending she doesn’t concur with obama on this thomas frankian idea that getting-by parsimonious town voters are being snookered into voting republican over gods, guns and gays. every democratic power broker thinks this. clinton looks sillier in populist garb than dukakis looked in the tank.robert fripp’s combo gets the politics ‘n’ prog trophy this week.
