Sen Barack ObamaIt’s fascinating how often old sayings turn out to be true.

If, as now appears likely, Barack Obama can obtain the Democratic Party’s nomination for the presidency, and goes on to beat John McCain, it would literally constitute the triumph of hope over experience.

 

It will be interesting to see if the American public lives by the old saying or realizes the warning behind it.

I am no fan of Sen. McCain, in fact quite the contrary. But it’s interesting to see two characters so strongly embody the saying.
