As I said, I used to admire him and I agree that his pro-consumer advocacy is good stuff.
I actually didn't think George W. was going to be nearly as bad a president as he turned out to be.
November and December of 2000 were torturous to me. And then 9/11 happened--and I remember saying "this is like having a Boy Scout in charge of the 7-11 when it's getting robbed."
I read some of the comments on that blog and one person asserted that Obama's book does indeed talk at length about poverty. I haven't followed Obama's campaign that closely but he certainly doesn't seem to be trying to shy away from the idea of race as Nader suggests. He had that speech in March, and a speech recently where he talked about black fathers.
I think Obama's going to be a great President, if he ends up winning--and I have great hopes that he will.
