A buyer for everything

The SF Chronicle's Mark Morford really, really, really, really, really, really, really, likes Barack Obama:

Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway...

...it's not merely his youthful vigor, or handsomeness, or even inspiring rhetoric. It is not fresh ideas or cool charisma or the fact that a black president will be historic and revolutionary in about a thousand different ways. It is something more. Even Bill Clinton, with all his effortless, winking charm, didn't have what Obama has, which is a sort of powerful luminosity, a unique high-vibration integrity.

Sheezus. And Morford is barely tuning up. Two graphs later he says Obama will "usher in a new way of being on the planet."

If anyone ever decides to put an official Barack Obama bowel movement on E-Bay, I think we've identified a buyer.
