His eloquence revs into fury: "My wife's a monster, and everyone will think me a fool." Immediate he reproaches himself, not for insulting her, but because his anger has provoked him to utter a platitude...

He's a very smart guy, a quick learner, but no one is that quick. If he runs and makes a fool of himself, a very promising political career could be suffocated in the crib. But somehow you get the feeling that Obama would not make a fool of himself-indeed, it is far more likely that he would bring a freshness, eloquence and thoughtfulness to Democratic Party politics that have been absent...
