Wow. That is the best, by far, summation of Barack’s victory –– and the American victories –– I have so far read. Let me tell you sirs and mademoiselles et madames: I read them all, e.g., The NYTimes, Le Monde, Guardian, UK Daily Mail (ack!), New York Times, New Yorker, National Review (repugnant, racist, and laughable), Newsmax (repugnant, racist, and unhinged), New York Review of Books (august), New Amsterdam News (uneven), etc.

But this essay was the most concise, the most insightful, and by far the most eloquent in its prosaic truth.

Sign me up for more.

As for Monsieur Barack Obama, he was, to my mind, merely an superb, inspiring president in the modern Democratic Party tradition.

But now he’s in the Democratic Party Pantheon: oh, yeah, Franklin, Eleanor, Harry, John, Bobby, and Ted are awaiting his arrival, and the CEO, Martin (and shadow advocate Malcolm) is eager to show him and his wife their office with a view.

Oh, I’m very serious. The accomplishments –– epic, brave, and not a little mysterious ––speak for themselves.
