What did I tell you? I wrote yesterday that "Obama the tough" was nothing more than election mode Obama. He's not a tough guy, but he plays one on TV, or rather, he's trying to do so. Obama has been seen by many to be an American apologist - bowing to Saudi Kings and harboring the notion in other nations that America has done wrong. But now it's getting closer to 2012 election time, and President Obama needs to fix his image at home if he wants to win. I'm sure this is the first in a series of damage controls that will include some post-partisan shtick too. But while the notion of Obama the tough is laughable to many of us, it's already getting some play.
