Swayed by fear

To my surprise, I found myself reading Charles Krauthammer's entire Oct. 3 column and agreeing with parts of it. In my opinion, Barack Obama does display both a first-class intellect and a first-class temperament.

Yet in the end, Krauthammer managed to imply that Obama's composure is inauthentic, a clever coverup for a murky, mysterious reality. That's an old, worn-out scare tactic. The sad thing is, some folks still are swayed by it.
