Frank Rich says Obama needs to address the rage. Duh. He is. He's addressing the rage by fixing the problem. I don't see Obama twiddling his thumbs and frankly, I'm tired of the media and congress exploitation of "populist rage."
Even the folks at Daily Kos think Rich is off the mark.
NYT: Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans’ anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts, his presidency and, worse, our economy will be paralyzed. It would be foolish to dismiss as hyperbole the stark warning delivered by Paulette Altmaier of Cupertino, Calif., in a letter to the editor published by The Times last week: “President Obama may not realize it yet, but his Katrina moment has arrived.”
