And His Star Keeps Rising
Thanks to Greg for the tip on this remarkable commencement speech given by freshman Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois.)
The speech is a bit of a long read, but well worth it. Houtopia had a chance to see Obama up close at an Austin fundraiser last summer. Quite simply, the guy's got it. The "it" that doesn't come around very often in politics -- an exceptional ability to connect with and captivate people. Call it a bit of the Clinton touch.
We expect great things of the junior Senator from Illinois.
