David Brooks has a pretty good piece in the Times that continues the general hand-wringing in the MSM about why Obama can't seem to close the deal. But Brooks actually may have hit upon the answer.
He gives examples of how in all of Obama’s experiences, he was present, but not interested in becoming a seasoned expert in anything, laying down roots, or in the overall success of the group. He was interested in doing things for Barack Obama and moving on to bigger and better things, again for the benefit of Barack Obama.
That is why Americans don't feel comfortable with him. He is impossible to know, like Americans knew Andrew Jackson was a backwoodsman. John Kennedy had his clan. Ronald Reagan was forever associated with the small-town virtues of Dixon and Jimmy Carter with Plains.
Obama is in America, but not of America.
