Obama Gracious, and Hypnotic, in Defeat

The polls were wrong about New Hampshire, and Obama didn't win after all. But he decided to go ahead and pretty much give his victory speech anyway, and it was fantastic. Talk about graciousness in defeat! He can really get us souped up with his ardor. You can't help being bowled over. But after he's finished, you need a little slap on the face and a glass of water so you can come to. "Uh...what happened? Where was I? Wow! That was amazing!"

Not that he talks mumbo-jumbo, far from it, but where are the details? Have I heard a plan in there anywhere? A rookie needs a solid one. Maybe his plan is to corral us all into one place, to unite us as a nation - God knows we need an organizing principle - and to get to the details later. But let's hear it! And soon.
