Yes, we can.

I agree it's important. But forget the 8 years of Bush, where any one of Lisa's cats could communicate better. What about the 8 years of Clinton? He was a fantastic communicator. But he never governed in the vein of the things he communicated. Like I said, talk is cheap. Perhaps I'm more cynical than those who've seen less presidencies under their belt. Obama's talk is no less refreshing to me than Clinton's was, especially when he first campaigned for president.

Sorry, not buying it any more. Hmmm, would I like to give Obama the chance to make good? Sure. And it looks as it he's going to get that chance. And I'm glad. Don't mistake me for unhappy that he will likely be the next president. But I'm not all gaga because he talks the good talk. That's simply not enough for me.

But, yeah, it's good.
