Maybe the best we've ever had.

Mr. Cool. That's Barack Obama. I like that. Think about it. Have you ever seen Obama lose his cool? Lose his temper? Not even underneath. I look for signs. The way one smiles. Or doesn't smile. One's body movements. Obama is happy within himself. In his skin. Without being arrogant. He's at peace. And fair-minded. Not vindictive. He really would try to pull people together. Still, some people don't like him. Because he's cool. They like the hot-tempered. Because they are more entertaining. The bombastic political pundits, for instance. McCain. He ain't cool. He's an uptight fuddy-duddy. Ill-tempered. And Sarah Palin. Empty-headed. And mean-spirited. A remote control robot. Anyway, I know what I like. Obama is a breath of fresh air. He could be a great president. Maybe the best we've ever had. --Jim Broede
