Obama speak on religion, faith, and atheism

February 10th, 2008

I may disagree with him on some (perhaps most) of his policy position, but I have a hard time not liking Obama. Perhaps one of the biggest criticisms I see leveled at him is that he is without substance, that he makes a big deal of broad phrases but has no meaning to back them up. This criticism is completely unfounded, and he's demonstrated so on many occasion. Despite the fact that I have many disagreements with his policy ideas, I still think he's one of the most appealing candidates currently in the race and would make an excellent president. I just might vote for him.

I think this speech may be a little old, but it's new to me, and very good:

The young Alan Keyes?

December 14th, 2007

We were watching the Republican debate the other night, and every time Alan Keyes was on the screen I just couldn't shake the feeling that I had seen him before in some other context. Something about his facial expressions and the way he moved just really reminded me of someone else.

Here's a video of him from the debate to give you an idea of what I'm talking about:

It was still bothering me a couple hours after the debate until it hit me! I knew who he reminded me of! This guy (YouTube)!

Am I crazy, or could that totally be a young Alan Keyes?
