Keeping your spirits up

/ 29 April 2008

Ok, I admit it: it’s hard not to be feeling some degree of fatigue, if not even despair (Sullivan’s word) at the current state of the political process. So here’s two things to lift your spirits: go and listen to Yes, We Can again, and read Sullivan’s notes about what the Obama campaign has already accomplished.

I should probably comment on Jeremiah Wright, as well, since while I was deeply moved by his Bill Moyers appearance, I've been pretty much turned off by his extemporaneous comments at the Press Club. He's starting to sound like an angry old guy who's pissed off that he's not leading the change that a much younger visionary IS leading (that is, Obama). I grieve that it's come to this, and resonate with TheCorner's sadness.
