Excellent analysis. We can't forget 9/11 and Senator Clinton placed it in context with other traumtic national events. That shouldn't be a problem. What is coming across to me is that Senator Obama lately finds campaigning distasteful and a chore. If he can't make soaring pre-written speeches, he is stammering and inarticulate. The academics and the affluent may succeed in making him the candidate, but we may rue the day that happens.

If yoiu find it unfathomable why Obama would object to Hillary putting an image of Osama in a political ad, you're dimmer than I thought.
