Well I’m not the only weblog all over Obama-mania.
The online left wing magazine Slate is into the act in the person of one of their major writers, Timothy Noah.
The Obama Messiah Watch. – By Timothy Noah – Slate Magazine
I therefore inaugurate the Obama Messiah Watch, which will periodically highlight gratuitously adoring biographical details that appear in newspaper, television, and magazine profiles of this otherworldly presence in our midst.
Today’s item, from a Los Angeles Times profile by Larry Gordon about Obama’s two years at Occidental College (before he transferred to Columbia):
In [political science professor Roger] Boesche’s European politics class, [classmate Ken] Sulzer said he was impressed at how few notes [italics mine] Obama took. "Where I had five pages, Barry had probably a paragraph of the pithiest, tightest prose you’d ever see. … It was very short, very sweet. Obviously somebody almost Clintonesque in being able to sum a whole lot of concepts and place them into a succinct written style."
