Obama's political rise was amazing. It would be like if I retired in 2029 at the age of 40 from the U.S. Air Force, then ran for the State Senate on a "military experience" platform, winning, then giving a speech as a U.S. Senate candidate at the RNC and becoming known as the "feisty, red-haired conservative"....winning the U.S. Senate seat, and then being elected President by 2036.

That's how amazing his political rise was. Truly something astonishing that gives people with high political aspirations hope.

Except you aren't exotic, and instead of having a young attractive wife, you'd likely be married to a woman 20 years your senior. No one is intrigued by that, Mr. Naso.

Part of the reason why he was able to rise so quickly is because of that "community organizing" background people mocked.  Knowing how to motivate & organize people, among other aspects of his political talent, is an important part of that quick rise...

Fred Thompson Dennis Kucinich isn't the President

Fixed.

And yes, my political ambitions have actually been given tremendous hope by Obama's rise. Granted I had these ambitions a good year before he even won the nomination, his rise makes it clear that it is possible to rise rapidly at quite a young age. In fact, all the recent presidents, from Clinton to Obama, inspire hope that anyone can be president at any age.

In two simple words, Phil has managed to capture the entire feeling of us all.

I really don't find Kucinich's wife that attractive.

Is it the red hair or the tongue ring?
