The YouTube clip is of him speaking to a group of veterans, something about honoring a specific veteran (I gathered this from the comments on the video, I don't have sound on this computer so I don't know the details).

Seems right to me. I hate ties. I don't wear them if I don't have to. But if I'm in a place where there's an unspoken "wear a tie" dress code, I wear a tie. And you just don't speak in front of a veterans' group without some sort of "patriotic" regalia.

There is, of course, not a speck of evidence that Obama has ever transcended party differences in the United States Senate.

Errr, Lugar-Obama. Coburn-Obama. And many more from his decade+ stint in Illinois. But I suppose facts shouldn't get in the way of good punditry.

As for his voting record being liberal...duh. He's liberal. It's not about voting record. It's about attitude. It's about his ability to talk to everyone like they're adults and not condescend his opponents.
