Obama saves Whales; Comes to complete stops at at stop signs

February 15th, 2007

I enjoyed: Barack Obama’s On-Point Message Man - washingtonpost.com, particularly:

“I wanted to win or lose based on who I am and not some concoction that somebody told me the public wanted,” says Deval Patrick, whom Axelrod served in his successful race to become the first African American governor of Massachusetts last year, Patrick’s first campaign. “I talked to a lot of different media consultants and so forth who were brought to me by someone who knew there was such a thing as a media consultant. Of all of them, David seemed to me to be the one most determined to respect my commitment to be myself.”

Amen.  Barack Obama has made some great remarks of late and no doupt many were scripted in some back room.  I thought the sound byte might not be well suited to him but he’s done well.  From what I can tell reading the paper, Barach Obama kisses babies and rescues baby seals.  He helps old ladies accross the street and comes to complete stops at at stop signs.  I think he’s making all the right moves so far.
