Say … Oooo … Ooooooo …. Obama!
I’ve finished reading US presidential candidate Barack Obama’s The Audacity of Hope. It’s really an introduction to the man himself; the book itself has little content that a well exposed reader would not otherwise already know.
The thing about the man is that he’s smart and he gets the issues, in a way that Bush would never grok. Watch his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech here and here and be … amazed. Truly, one of the best political speeches of the 21st century not just because he delivers the assessment of issues well but because he delivers with passion and strength of will.
So, with that book closed, I’ve picked up Graham’ The Intelligent Investor which judging by its size, will take me some time to finish grokking in fullness.
I also watched Borat yesterday. It’s truly hilarious, I can see it entering the top classic cult movie list.
