Obama Interview on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me


Barack Obama appeared on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me (www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/) in August of 2005. Here he is, talking about his name, the senate (being 99th in seniority...), preschool, and Wade Boggs.

He is definitely a funny guy with a great sense of humor, but the reality is that I've known lots of funny guys with a great sense of humor and I wouldn't vote for them as President. Does it make you like the guy? Sure. Does it mean he's a good leader? Nope.

So the reality is that Barack Obama continues to show that he is interesting as a person and entertainer, but continues to fail to show any substance beyond self deprecation. With the level of depth that he has displayed so far (sarcasm to follow) you'd almost expect him to have taken up a career of a super model peddling a diet pill that works. Then again, if he had done that maybe he would at least have some results to show for his efforts. I'm still scratching my head looking for his accomplishments....
