Obama's Inner Circle on 60 minutes

I caught this the other day on 60 minutes, and I was impressed by David Axelrod, David Plouffe, Robert Gibbs and Anita Dunn. It's hard not to be. They are all such calm, cool and collected characters just like their candidate, I guess.

What struck me the most was how often they deferred to what a great candidate they had and how none of this would have been possible without him. I think that gets lost in the media narrative a lot of the time-- Barack Obama is the shit.

He's easily the best Democratic Presidential Candidate since Bobby Kennedy. And maybe the best since FDR. We'll see what kind of president he'll be though.
