Michelle Obama: Barack has hit boiling point - Telegraph

Barack Obama is struggling to contain his anger and frustration over the constant barrage of questions about his character and judgment, his wife has revealed.

Well. Woo-hoo. What he's gone through to this point is pretty much NOTHING compared to what's waiting for him in the Presidency. And he's about to explode now?

What's going to happen when he gets into office and he's tested with international and domestic problems? Is he going to pull out the race card and demand respect from other nations because of his skin color? Is he going to get mad at all the people pressing HIM to come up with solutions? I think he's finding out charisma isn't going to get him much further - he's going to have to come up with actual content, and people are noticing he's pretty much content-free.

Terry Madonna, a political science professor at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa., said Obama lost among working-class whites in the state because his message of how this generation's time has come did not address their economic needs.

"While it's incredibly motivating and passionate and compelling, it lacks content," Madonna said. "Hillary would come in and relate to them, talk about the specifics of her policy."

Motivating. Passionate. Compelling.

But content-free. And, apparently, unhappy because he's being called on it. That's not a good sign.

(On the other hand - the Long Campaign lets you really get a good idea of what the candidate is like. This will really be to the Dem's disadvantage, I think...)
