A New Kind Of Decider?


I saw this on the News Hour last night. It's from a series they're doing profiling different aspects of the presidential candidates. This one is about Obama as a decision maker. It's a little fluffy, but most of the piece comes from interviews with supporters or colleagues.

I was intrigued by the way people in this piece speak about his political pragmatism. It's a quality that hasn't gotten a lot of play in the campaign (cause it's fucking BO-RING!), but one which I think is super important and maybe more than anything represents "real change".

Well worth your 13 minutes. (click on smokin' barry, then on 'streaming video')

Really good video. I like the one on McCorpse, too. PBS is good people.
