Barack Obama drew more viewers to 60 Minutes than any episode since 1999.
Glenn Beck was accosted at Wendy's by a truck driver with food in his hair and called a "racist bigot."
Any questions?
The 60 Minutes interview was so heartwarming, so incredible, so hopeful for the future of America. It was impossible not to think that Barack and Michelle are, without a doubt, the most real people to ever win the White House.
They were also extremely reassuring. The intelligence. The calm. The focus.
Our country is in good hands. I applaud our nation for putting them in charge.
And then there is Glenn Beck. Talk about polar opposites. In his own words:
It happened to me at Wendy's Saturday night. We are on the bus and we stop to get fuel and I said, I'm going to go in, I'm treating. Everybody wants a Frosty. I'm going to go get Frosties. And one of the security guys, said, No, you're not. I said, Yeah, I am. I mean, it's a truck stop. How much trouble am I going to get in in a truck stop? Everybody here you can trust. You're not going in. I went in, but I had to bring the swat team with me and so I'm just, I just want to Frosty, please, the guy standing next to me, who, by the way, I may point out. Had food in his hair, is a truck driver and he turned around. He looked at me and the recognition was immediate and he said, You racist bigot! And I just said -- I wanted to say, I think you have me mistaken for someone else, but I knew he knew who I was and he just hated me for who I was. You conservatives that have destroyed this country! And the hatred was so deep, it was breath taking. Luckily the swat team was there and I just separated myself from him and he just shouted through other people and there were children in the restaurant and he blamed me for everything, I believe including the Holocaust, and the hatred was palpable. The guy screamed at the restaurant, you better not let me see you in the parking lot because I've got a truck and I'll run your ass over! Wow. Is this who we've become? Is this who we've become?
No, Glenn. We have become Barack Obama. You are just a marginalized laughingstock.
Good luck with that frosty. America is warming up to a new day.
