I'd like to talk about that. Listening to Obama last night, he repeatedly emphasized that the way to get things done was to stop engaging in the petty partisan infighting that has characterized u.s. politics.
What about that is so thrilling to the electorate?
One thing that he does is constantly invoke is the "we". We're going to do this and we're going to do that. We need to work on this and we need to work on that. This is really kind of fascinating, the way he subsumes himself and pushes the general public before him as the "we". Somehow, that also appeals to people. They sho'nuf applaud it.
