good article. I'm generally conservative (on border issues, 2nd amendment rights, etc.) but a man who truly stands for something- is a much better candidate for my vote than those who tell me what I want to hear, but don't really care. I really hope I'm reading Obama correctly. It's gonna be a huge letdown if he's a fraud- but like someone mentioned somewhere about this article, it shows consistancy, and thats the best yardstick we have that he is (hopefully) genuine.
This guy's so ahead of his time. But then again, our problems are accelerating faster than we're prepared to deal with them so maybe he's exactly what America needs right now.

Having read both of his books, I was familiar with his work, life, but I still read this long article. Pretty powerful stuff.
