I don't agree with his left views on many things, but this is a courageous man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv0smG7ptcM In 6 minutes, he has said more than Obama or McCain has said in the last 12 months.
There's nothing heroic about Dennis Kucinich. The 10th ward of Ohio he represents is one of the poorest places in the country and has gone downhill while he's been in power. Maybe he ought to focus on doing his job instead of grandstanding.
He's a federal representative of the ward. If conditions there are declining, it could have something to do with the other 434 members of the House and 100 members of the Senate. He doesn't exercise executive power over the region as a Congressman. I hope he keeps speaking truth to power. Obama and McCain are either gutless or neutered.
I've never seen him that animated. He's really been impressive since dropping out of the Presidential race. His work for the 9/11 first responders, fighting to get them proper care and his work for impeachment have made him one of the more impressive Congressmen this session.
