My favorite part:
Webb is supposed to be Obama's opposite: the angry white politician to Obama's mild-mannered black one. But, oddly, Webb has something fundamental in common with Obama. Both men felt ill at ease at elite schools, leading them to embark on quests to rediscover their ethnic identities in their twenties. Both deepened these discoveries through writing. And both came to their identities as outsiders - as admiring anthroplogists of the identity rather than people for whom the identity was organic from birth. This explains why Webb can celebrate anger without succumbing to it.
