Saw this little clip again recently for some reason & noticed something I'd not picked up on before. It's the famous Henrietta Hughes plea to Obama for help during the campaign. You'll recognize it.
But pay attention when BO walks over to Hughes to give her a hug at about 40 seconds into the clip & watch the lady to the left of BO as the crowd stands up to applaud.
Nauseating, actually. I'm afraid there are far too many whose judgment is clouded by such infatuation. There is much truth to the old saw 'Love is blind.' Many in the media were similarly 'swept off their feet.'
There is an ironic follow-up to this little story - Henrietta did get a house, at least for a time... courtesy of a Republican.
