Richard Cohen's Op-Ed

Again, so many Obama supporters are writing about his "lack of fight", his lack of passion, when being interviewed on news shows. I agree with Richard Cohen's op-ed in today's Washington Post that Obama is being swift boated and doesn't seem to get it. He needs to show up and answer these attacks in language that the rest of America would use if someone were trashing our good name. Cut out the intelligent, cautious response and get pissed off and tell us that their attacks on you are BS and lies; come on, Obama. You've got a limited amount of time to stop this and we need a leader who isn't afraid to take on the Republican attack machine. You can go for compromise and unity after you're elected but if you continue down the passive road, you'll never know what might have been, just like Kerry.

I agree totally . Obama's fund raising is way down and a lot of it is because now people are realizing his chances of winning are going down.

Many people are very angry including me about the "wimp" factor in this campaign.

I had planned to give a large donation but not now. I just don't think he has the aggresive nature needed to win. I've seen many posts on here that say the same thing. People are backing away and closing their wallets.
