Ted Strickland is pissed !

I have met the Gov. at a few local fund-raisers when he was a Congressman. He is a decent,soft spoken man,a former Preacher.  If he gets upset with the President and the way he responds to the Republicans, then Obama and the party have some serious problems.  I know that Obama is trying to stay above all of the name calling and trying to do his job. Sadly the American people do not always respond to commen sense and logic but they do respond to perception.  They perceive him as weak and he had better take a few swings or he is finished and so is the middle class dream I fear. The President has foes in the Republican party that are trying to steal money from Social Security and give it to the wealthy in the form as tax cuts.  He must make the American people see the difference between himself and the Conservatives.  Bill Clinton could have shown this difference very clear to the public. What the hell is wrong with Obama?  Must he always turn the other cheek?
