You Must Know Obama! Piercing a Bubble
Posted by Shadi Hamid
Finally. Using the last, say, 5 months as my window of observation, I just hours ago found my first American citizen who's never heard of Barack Obama. It was weird. She's a good friend. We were talking. For some reason, I mentioned John Edwards. And she drew a blank. I reminded her that Edwards was Kerry's running mate in 2004. She assured me that she knew about Kerry, but that "Edwards" wasn't exactly ringing a bell.
Then, I thought to myself, well, I'm sure she's heard of Obama. So I asked her. Nothing. "You must be kidding me! You've never heard of Barack Obama??" I was beside myself. Granted, she doesn't live in the U.S. anymore, but still...So, anyway, I proceeded to explain to her the phenomenon of Barack Obama in five sentences or less. A question to our readers: am I living in a self-contained world of like-minded northeastern liberals who hearken for the return of Robert Kennedy, or do "unaware-of-Obama" Americans exist in significant numbers?
Lots of people still are unfamiliar with Obama. Word of mouth has to spread about this guy so that folks can feel comfortable with this values and stances.
Come Monday, April 23 (I believe that's the date), he's planning on detailing his issues as an answer to people questioning his substance. Everyone should tune into his site come that night or the following day. It'll probably get lots of news coverage, too.
And yes, you're not the only one who thinks he sounds like Bobby Kennedy.
