Everybody Wants to Be a Friend

βObama is to me very analogous to Robert Kennedy,β Reich said. βThe closer you got to him, the more you realized that his magic lay in his effect on others rather than in any specific policies. But he became a very important vehicle. He got young people very excited. He was transformative in the sense of just who he was. And a few things he said about social justice licensed people. Obama does all that, almost effortlessly.β
