“…Obama has remained ‘Mr. Cool,’ even when his campaign seemed to be blowing up around him. He didn’t do the politically expedient things: He didn’t wear his patriotism on his lapel with an American flag pin; he didn’t promptly disown his race-baiting former pastor, Jeremiah Wright; he didn’t apologize for comments by his wife, Michelle, that many Americans found unpatriotic. You can say what you like about the substance of these positions, but the interesting fact is that Obama didn’t flinch.
‘Yes, we know what’s coming. I’m not naive,’ Obama said in the North Carolina speech. ‘We’ve already seen it . . . pouncing on every gaffe and association and fake controversy, in the hopes that the media will play along.’
