Obamarama? Obamamania? Obama, Obama, Obama

The media has gotten absolutely nuts over Obama. I just checked the first page of google news with 'obama' as a tag and found 1,052 articles....just the first page! So this post adds another number to who knows how many posts are on the blog search. No one can stop talking about him. Rollingstone just did a giant in-depth review of the Senator. John Howard, the PM of Australia recently felt the need to slander him with the Osama bullshit and the right-wing echo chamber in general is trying every little trick in their book of evil spells to knock him from his high horse.

So with all the media shooting off their mouths, who is the real Obama and what does he stand for?If I had to sum it up at this moment, his book 'Audacity of Hope' is the first to come to mind. There is a lot to hope for when you see Barack Obama, though the question is: What will come of that hope? I got a good look from the Rollingstone piece linked above and I hope to hear more in the time to come.
