Forget the truck
Sultan Obama's rhetoric is nearly always FDRian, while his actions are nearly always Bushian. Every now and then the rhetorical magic slips and the Bushian heart shows through.
In his speech for Coakley, talking about Brown's political symbolism:
"Forget the slick ads. Anybody can run slick ads. Forget the truck. Anybody can buy a truck."
Really? Anybody?
I suppose this doesn't strike an immediate alarm bell to a man who has lived among the Wall Street Mafia most of his life. But the people who can't afford to buy and maintain a truck notice it.
