Barack Obama, you see, is done fixing souls. It's time to crack heads. Prodded by panicked Democrats to take off his white gloves, he issued a Call to Strong Arm to his legions of angry followers on Wednesday. Hope is out. Hellfire is in. Now, the same analysts who tut-tutted Sarah Palin's mild use of sarcasm at the GOP convention are heralding — in the words of the Obama water-carriers at the Associated Press — Obama's "feistier, more sarcastic tone" and his push for Democrat activists "to sharpen their elbows, too."
When Republicans get aggressive, it's "dirty." When Obama gets aggressive, it's "feisty." Exorteth the One: "I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face."
That's right. Instead of Hope and Change and New Politics, Obama wants his supporters to go out and "get in [your] face." This isn't thuggish or creepy.
And I'm sure it'll appeal to alot of people in the middle, or at least they'll say "Yes I'll vote for Obama! Just stop bugging me."
Thank goodness we have a secret ballot in this country.
