The Chief certainly doesn’t agree with very much that Barack Obama has to say on issues, but in this case he’s been speaking some hard truths about the predicament that much of Africa finds itself in, mostly due to its own fecklessness.
Obama has the potential, along with Kentucky’s Wendell Ford to seriously score on the national political scene, if he doesn’t shoot himself in the foot. Personally, the Chief likes Ford better – but both, along with Lieberman, are classed as the rarest of creatures, liberals who are at opponents worthy of some degree of personal and political respect, even as one disagrees with them.
