It is a pretty cool night. A community organizer and law professor from the south side of chicago, who is black and white, just won the nomination for the presidency -- and he's got a good chance to win. OK, no one needs to read about that here, but I've been searching the web reading shit all night and, well, it's not important but its just kind of nice to think that the future president might also have a little poet in him. From the end of a NYTimes article:
"Mr. Obama nods. That’s intriguing. But he prefers his own riff, which not incidentally trains the eye not on him but on his crowds. “I love when I’m shaking hands on a rope line and”— he mimes the motion, hand over hand — “I see little old white ladies and big burly black guys and Latino girls and all their hands are entwining. They’re feeding on each other as much as on me."
He shrugs; it’s that distancing eye of the author.
“It’s like I’m just the excuse.”
- nice imagery.
