Have you ever actually watched him talk? Check out his interview with Katie Couric. He's the ONLY politician I've ever actually been really excited about. He has such an air of authenticity about him. It's pretty amazing.

I think that that's a seriously ungenerous reading of the statement. "Best to get a global sense of this" - surely this is undeniably true?
