There was something missing from the Obama-Harris love-in

The Independent  

It’s a perplexing time for the Democratic National Convention. “Let me tell you something – I love this guy.” One didn’t sense quite the personal love and affection for the actual candidate that he showered on Biden and Walz. And he generously lent her his own campaign slogan from years ago, telling the convention: “Yes she can!” He also, in typical style, managed to demolish Trump with effortlessly memorable phrases – “We do not need four more years of bluster, bumbling and chaos. Vote!”, and he made a point of saying later: “If we need to win over those who aren’t yet ready to support our candidate, we need to listen to their concerns.” What Barack Obama also brought was something that has been conspicuously absent in this presidential contest – philosophy. Trump has nicknamed her “Cacklin’ Kamala”, but Emhoff said: “I love that laugh.” He also reminisced about the blind date that brought them together more than a decade ago.
