I’ve wondered what there is about Obama that attracts such adulation. I thought something about Obama seemed very familiar, and tonight I finally cracked the code: It’s in the voice.
The earnest demeanor, the artful stammer, the aw-shucks tone…
What. a. pretty. picture. Man I love me some Jimmy.
Of course, he was a republican. But as far as I can tell, he was a patriot also (retired a colonel in the Air Force and best friends with Henry Fonda, a committed liberal).
Pretty isn’t enough. It turned to pissy last night.
On the other hand, if you go back to Jimmy’s work, you’ll see an undercurrent of anger and resentment that comes to the fore when the dramatic moment requires it: Destry Rides Again, Winchester 73, Vertigo. Not just a nice guy.
Obama isn’t given that freedom; when he does, he gets slammed.

You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.
