Powerful. It never ceases to amaze me how you are able to compile these clips and provide a rousing soundtrack that connects. Then you add Obama’s words.
Marc Maron said this before Obama eventually won… he summed it nicely even then. But amazingly it probably evens fall short——
“the biggest attack they have on him is that he speaks well. Now, I don’t know where the f*** they got the idea that charisma and the ability to elevate the human spirit is not ninety percent of what a leader should do. To have somebody sit there and criticise a guy’s ability to elevate the human spirit, to make people feel like they’re a part of something again, and make people excited about the future of their country…
I’m willing to gamble on the guy. You’ve got to realise that the President of the United States is a symbolic office. In a democracy that’s suppose to function properly, with three distinct branches of government… the guy on the top of that pyramid has to be symbolic — to represent what the country is, what the country could be, and to make people believe in that country and those ideas…
I have been listening to your podcast for almost three years. They have always been enjoyable and enlightening. However, THIS podcast, with the mixing of Obama’s words and the music you chose was simply OUTSTANDING.
My son is a music producer, and I just HAD to tell him about your podcast in general and particularly THIS one. He, too was floored, like me.
GREAT work. Thank you for what you do.
That’s was one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard, from you or anyone. I was listening to it on the subway and I just wanted to somehow loud-speaker it to all my fellow riders. I kep tearing up and just wrapped up in this wonderful trip down memory lane, when hope seemed within reach.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your podcasts with getting maudlin and trite, so please just accept my adoration and praise.
Today I’m going to try to comprehend how to contribute. I listen to hours of lefty radio on my commute and some of the stuff I hear is pretty good.
BTW, has anyone submitted the Keith Olbermann clip “The Real Bush History” yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z0454IcJ7o
