“Politics depends on our ability to persuade each other of common aims based on a common reality. It involves the compromise, the art of what’s possible.”
Is it just me or is this guy making some liberals and conservatives squirm? Politics with minimal rhetoric.

I’m not yet sure if this man is ready for the presidency, but he’s captured my attention. I’m listening, Barack. Keep talking.
