"Too consumed"

En Obama, nadat de vorige democratische kandidaat, John Kerry, Vietnam, oorlogsheld, zijn steun heeft toegezegd: “This is a man who knows how much people who love their country can change it .......... This is the hero who returned to the Washington where politicians continued the senseless war day after day, life after life, because they were too afraid to challenge the conventional thinking, too consumed with their own careers and ambitions.” Jeetje mineetje, over wie zou dat nou gaan?
