Election madness
Well, I haven’t been blogging very conscientiously lately, but this is because of a lot of things. However, it is not because of a lack of things to share with everyone.
To sum things up briefly, I’m following the election very closely because I’ve been rather inspired by Barack Obama and the message of his campaign. Hell, I’ve even been inspired by the will.i.am Yes We Can song. Although I think it’s better to hear Obama’s speech from the evening of the New Hampshire Primary (whence comes the text of the song).
Of course I would be remiss if I did not also mention John McCain’s ability to inspire us using just three words.
When looking at the qualities of Obama’s speeches, I was about to facetiously suggest that Ted Sorensen might be writing them (a chief advisor to JFK, who wrote all of his speeches), but when I looked him up on Wikipedia, I discovered that he has in fact endorsed Obama and written an acceptance speech for the convention. It doesn’t seem implausible that he’s doing a bit of ordinary speech-writing for Obama as well.
