The more I think about it, the more the townhall anti-Obama anger isn't explained completely by the issues (sorry, Frank ). There's also something about Obama himself-. But that something (or the main something) isn't his race. It's that he's a relative newcomer, as Presidents go--an unknown quantity, an enigma, with a short track record and patches of that record left fuzzy.
At least one other problem: he's an enigma whose party is being run by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. I wouldn't trust George Washington as president if he had a Congress like this one.
The sad part is, he could have been, like Clinton, a fairly successful moderate, if facing as GOP or moderate Dem Congress (if the latter is possible.) Whether his party pulled him left is perhaps a question mark, although with every Van Jones the evidence mounts that he was far left himself.
