Obama on “This Week”
By Lowell | May 14, 2007
There’s a decent amount of discussion on the progressive blogosphere about Barack Obama’s apparance on “This Week” yesterday. Here’s a sampling:
*At Daily Kos, Markos says, “Obama is either going to look really good — if he manages the impossible and actually gets Republicans to sign on to a troop withdrawal, or he’s going to look like a patsy — for thinking that Republicans would abandon the president on the issue and “compromise” on anything at all, much less Iraq.”
*Taylor Marsh asks, “With George Will actually saying that there’s something Reaganesque about Obama’s sunny disposition and lack of vitriol, excuse me, but can anyone argue this wouldn’t be a gift to conservatives?” She adds, “Tell me how a Candidate Kumbaya would be good for Democrats, because right now I’m just not seeing it at all.”
*At MyDD, a diary by “the green and bold” highlights George Will’s observation that Obama is “the 2008 candidate closest in spirit to ‘The Great Communicator’” - Ronald Reagan. The diary argues that “in practice Obama is reliably progressive, yet his rhetoric and persona are undevisive (sic).”
* Obamarama provides YouTube video of the appearance, which it calls “a great discussion.”
