David Samuels: "Rapid-Onset Political Enlightenment"

The first half of this is very interesting, IMO.

But it's a bit long, and about 3/4 of the way through it gets pretty speculative and I have a hard time following--much less assessing--the argument.

But I've only read it once.

Needless to say, I don't know whether these claims about Obama are true.
