New York Times: What happened to Obama's passion?

[thewayne]

Written by a psych professor who talks about Obama as a leader being unable to tell compelling stories with clear villains, among other things. He talks about essentially Obama allowing himself to be bullied by the RNC and others instead of standing up to them, and in the process, really surrendering the power of his office. I found it interesting and more than a little sad, I don't think he is what we needed, which is not to say that I think McCain/Palin was a better choice.

The prof was on Talk of the Nation a couple of days ago.
