We are now in the world of Obama as "other" and Obama as "right." These are two of his strengths, so Hillary and Rove are turning them into weaknesses.
Hillary has taken us into the Republican trap of using anti-intellectualism and otherness to alienate voters, and using that we will never again elect an inspired, intelligent, effective world leader.
In particular, we know people who are uncomfortable with Obama being "religious," and also baselessly think he's "anti-Jewish." We also hear that maybe he's really an "angry black man" (I think every black American is entitled to be angry and denying that is denying racism in this country; and why is it okay for Clarence Thomas to be angry?). We'll keep hearing that his middle name is Hussein, and well, that's just out there for some people even though we supported Sadam for decades. And Obama's foreign names make Americans question why people are saying he doesn't do patriotic things like wear a flag pin.
Now Rove is trying to characterize him as a marginal legislator, even though Obama accomplished this when Sam Nunn couldn't...Lugar Obama

Good Pick!
(How's Junior?)
Hillary is just exploiting the stereotypes held by the media and her supporters. When are we going to get some change in this country?
