As Howard Kurtz notes (though doesn’t fully dissect) with his “discursive style” comments about President Barack Obama, on page 2 of an in-depth analysis of Obama, network TV, prime-time ratings and presidential press conferences, the truth is that Barack Obama is NOT “that” dynamic of a speaker. This is another Obama myth that I saw through more than a year ago.
I don’t know if some of that mythos is white “liberal” unconscious racism about him sounding “cool,” but in a “white” way, or what.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
