It was just pathetic... they're are REALLY the ones they've been looking for -- it's all about themselves, and getting high off loving' Obama, and projecting onto him whatever they see that's so wonderful about themselves.

I wish Obama would say that. But he wants to be the PREZ, man, you dig? That’s so funny, Salo. I wish Obama would say that. But he wants to be the PREZ, man, you dig?

I've got lots of school, too; but I have always just shuddered at that pseudo-philosophical post-modernist blather that comes from many academics. This isn't literary deconstruction, it's running a country and trying to help people. The next person who gets her health insurance cut off for being sick will be heartened to know that Obama is part of the mythic concentricity of doing and being, of space and time, or here and there and everywhere.

Harry Jenkins, MIT, wrote "Think of the speech as a mash-up of JFK, RFK, Ceasar Chavez, and Walt Whitman, delivered with the candences of Martin Luther King. Think of it as thus a new synthetic mythology for a new kind of knowledge culture. It may be the most powerful remobilization of historical and contemporary perspectives since the Popular Front movement of the 1930s." The Popular Front movement of the 1930s? I'm confused. Is Obama integrating those ideas? The substance? Or simply utilizing the form? I would say ONLY THE FORM. Is Jenkins essay the end result of an environment of "publish or perish"? Another thought.
