Obama ain't afraid

Andrew Sullivan helped me understand why I like Obama so much - he ain't afraid.  After offering some ill-advised comments in San Francisco about bitter, working class Pennsylvanians, he could have offered some press release or spokesperson apology.  He could have hung his head low and apologized.  But instead he came out with these honest and clarifying remarks - and importantly, he did not shy away from the word bitter - while also rebutting the attack of McCain/Clinton against him.

Watch the whole 9 minutes.  The best part is when he starts cracking up talking about Senator Clinton's new love of hunting.  "She's running around talking like this is an insult to sportsmen and hunters, like she's an Annie Oakley.  Hillary Clinton's out there talking like she's out in a duck blind every Sunday."

Just words?  There's substance behind dem dar words.  Give a listen.
