Can anyone take this trivializing political chatter as somehow constitutive of serious political commentary. It is on its face utterly unworthy of  consideration as anything except as the title of his blog states, The Dish. For serious commentary see Paul Krugman, Matt Miller,Robert Scheer. Elizabeth Drew at the New York Review Of Books blog has a sage and through examination of the speech enlivened by her political experience, not fettered by the trivializing political sensibility manifested by Chrysostom. Also see the Esquire's political blog for a very impressive essay on Obama's speech.
