Maybe This Is Why Obama Holds No Appeal For Me

The BBC reminds me of something I already knew but had forgotten:

Back in 1899, a Missouri congressman, Willard Vandiver, said: "I come from a country that raises corn and cotton, cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I'm from Missouri, and you have got to show me."

That's Brack Obama; Mr. Frothy Eloquence.
