Now the Altos

"While Clinton, the designated valedictorian, reaches out for the ego and super-ego, (Obama) supposedly goes for the id. She might as well be promoting choral singing in the face of Beatlemania... Someone needs to tell her that there are better ways to signal conviction than by raising one's voice and drawing out the vowels, as in "I KNOW ..." and "I BELIEVE ..." The frozen smile has to go too, along with the metronymic nodding, which sometimes goes on long enough to suggest a placement within the autism spectrum."

-Barbara Ehrenreich, mocking Hillary before dispelling Obamamania on Huffington.
