Christopher Hitchens has penned a provocative piece on Obama:
"Why is Obama so vapid, hesitant and gutless?"

Despite being an Obama supporter, I agree with a lot of Hitchens says. Obama has not campaigned with the independence and boldness that those who read his writings are familiar with.
He is politically savvy. He knows that an bold campaign, while impressing some, would alienate many. So he has played it safe, often tediously safe.
Perhaps the bizarre truth that emerges is this: The only way for a radical to get into the White House is for him to pretend that he isn't.
