Someone -- some group in the Obama camp (since he's banned outside groups from doing it) really, really needs to go on the offensive. This being polite is for the birds. Jesus wasn't polite! Obama's camp needs to point their damning finger at the equivalent of the moneylenders in the temple. It needs shout from the rooftops out just how much is at stake in this election, and do it with righteous, articulate, focused anger that can be heard from the upper reaches of the stadium.

Obama is sounding more and more like he's stuck in the middle of the Democratic Party, not that he's independent, or imaginitive, or capable of explaining anything the tiniest bit subtle. Is he a manifestation what seems to be a tragic flaw in the Democratic Party? Can no one escape drowning in the gook of fear to clearly distinguish oneself from the Republicans? Why does he have to make the single biggest foot-in-his-mouth recommendation about Georgia -- that it be admitted to NATO? He'll be better than McCain, but he's already tangled up in the Nancy Pelosi-Harry Reid trap of failing to call a spade a spade.
