The last national politican who felt he could be frank with the American people and still keep his job was Jimmy Carter in 1980 and we all know how that turned out. No presidential candidate wants to be identified with the Gary Kamiya wing of the democratic party, period. Democratic candidates cannot even hint that they might raise taxes much less talk trash about 9/11. Obama has carefully avoided the "hard left" label in the primaries and has even hinted that he may not end the war as soon as people think he will. Despite the hysteria, Obama does not want to rock the boat, not yet, at least. All of his talking points are at "38,000 feet" which is by design. He is letting people extrapolate what he is saying to suit their own personal worldviews, which is great as long as skeletons stay in the closet.
