Not Feeling It

Political Memo - In a Time of Crisis, Is Obama Too Cool? - NYTimes.com: "...However forceful and passionate Mr. Obama can be, his speeches and public appearances this week have underscored how he is sometimes out of sync with the visceral anger of Americans who are losing their jobs and homes. He often talks about growing up on food stamps and about having paid off his student loans only recently, yet his tone and volume, body language, facial expressions and words convey a certain distance from the ache that many voters feel..."

Yep. And there are good reasons for that distance.
