Senator Barack Obama was not born in a manger he jokingly confessed at the Alfred E. Smith memorial dinner in New York, but during his remarks he demonstrated a particular capacity to rise and lift the audience above indifference, the great sin of politics, wit and agility to take measure of the absurd and flexibility to command atmospherics that on the one hand triggered laughter, and on the other, deep thought, compassion and hope for citizens that lived on life's edge just blocks from where these decision makers had gathered. He did that in fifteen minutes, never missed a beat and accented the one purpose, to serve each's fellow man and woman.
Fascinating is a word that comes to mind. Able is another word to ascribe to this human being. Capable, need I say more? Worthy!
