...early to make pronouncements on Obama's fate. One pattern that can be limned from the recent overseas controversies is that this President has a tendency to err in the direction of respect toward other countries. This is a witting reaction to the Bush Administration's tendency to diss our allies and insult - or invade - our enemies. It is a long game, which will yield results, or not, over time.

Entry number three begins, quite appropriate, by adding in the infamous Kanye diss over the original song. Voices can be heard singing throughout, and it ends with a man saying that one cannot be more happy anyplace else than at Harvard...

They had been shocked and hurt, and then enraged, by his foolish, two-week effort to diss Barack Obama. The next crowd, at Hillary Clinton's closing rally in Columbia, was equally pale and must have been deeply depressing to the ex-President. I remembered a huge interracial crowd in the Mississippi Delta, late in Clinton's presidency. I was standing next to Jesse Jackson...
