Because of his recent string of gaffes and his unrepentant super-liberalism, many supporters are having if not second thoughts then a touch of buyer's remorse regarding Barack Obama. Even Andrew Sullivan has shown diminished enthusiasm, commenting today, "Intellectually, I find so much of Obama's substance domestically to be anathema…I haven't sat through a single Obama speech without ideologically wincing at something. I fear that in the general election, his recourse to liberal tropes will begin to wear thin."
So it doubtlessly comes as good news for Obamaphiles everywhere that Obama picked up a highly coveted albeit tacit endorsement earlier today when Fidel Castro called Obama "the most-advanced candidate" in the presidential race. Admittedly, "most advanced" sounds an awful lot like some of that elitist talk, but Castro's implied endorsement will surely dazzle them in Hollywood.
Exit question: What could Obama possibly be saying and doing that make our enemies find him so appealing? Or does Castro merely have America's best interests at heart?
