Other than a few pivotal moments addressing abortion and gun control in the middle there, Obama's was a pandering, old-fashioned political speech that went against what attracted many to him at the outset. Partisan attacks on McCain are not "change."
Many journalists, including those from PBS, are in so deep now they really don't seem to be able to view the whole thing objectively. We will agree, Obama did what he had to do, but it did not seem natural; his timing seemed... off.
We hope that Obama can return to his true, think-things-through persona as we enter the final stretch... at least to the extent that the public will allow.
