Remembering President Tsongas

A British columnist (fresh from predicting a Republican victory last November, as he admits) is not impressed by Obama:

The surreal idea of President Obama (2008) follows in the dubious footsteps of President Howard Dean (2004), President Bill Bradley (2000), President Steve Forbes (1996) and President Paul Tsongas (1992). In fairness to Mr Bradley, who may have made a decent occupant of the Oval Office, he was not a risible figure to aspire to inherit George Washington’s mantle. All of the rest were.

Afterthought: Bradley? Bradley? Oh get real. He may be the weakest of the lot. A fully-inflated media helium balloon who expected the presidency to be conferred upon him as an entitlement. Thanks, Joel, whose good offices as a source need not be taken as an endorsement. Of anything.
