The Angry Obamas

Michelle Obama lifted the lid on the irritation felt by the leading Democrat candidate for the White House at the way anti-American outbursts by his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, have dogged his campaign… Her husband was thinking “I can’t let my ego, my anger, my frustration get in the way of the ultimate goal,” she said. “Barack has been characterised as many things that have nothing to do with who he is…” A senior Democrat strategist privy to Obama’s campaign said: “He’s sick of the battle against Clinton. He wants to get stuck into McCain. His people have had to remind him that this thing isn’t over yet and he needs to focus and put her away.”
