Woe is US
Obama has canceled his stop at Penn State Beaver. How will we ever survive without his rhetoric of nothing. Oh Woe is us. I don't think we can survive without a visit of a lying politician.
I find it humorous the national media one day said that we Pennsylvanians like to get up and close with the politicians sort a like New Hampshire. I know NOBODY that likes that. I know NOBODY that wants to be within 10 feet of one. EVERYBODY I know would be much happier if: we never heard from them and they stayed as far away from us as possible.
That doesn't sound like New Hampshire to me.

"rhetoric of nothing".
That is an apt description. Not unusual for a politician, of course ... but what strikes me as unusual is the number of people who seem to be in ecstasy when they hear him speak ... without really saying anything at all.
I'm not sure that your experience is necessarily the rule. I don't know this, but I have met quite a few devout partisans who tend to regard celebrity politicians as exciting and important. It is sort of like the phenomenon of 'royal watching' in England (and among quite a few Americans). There seem to be people who feel that if they were just in the presence of such a political figure, their lives would suddenly have meaning. Can't explain it, but I have observed it.
