Though this is the time to voice his discontent, the contender is content to not heat up the hustings
TIPTON, IOWA—Barack Obama has been campaigning since early this morning, and as he addresses his last audience of the day, he professes some strong emotions about the distance many Americans feel from their government. “It makes me angry when folks feel they have no one working for them,” he declares to some 250 people who have gathered on a Tuesday evening at the Cedar County Fairgrounds.
As he invariably does when outlining his discontent with the status quo, the Illinois senator sounds firm. He sounds sincere. What he doesn’t sound is angry.

CDOBs Editors says:
Steve Chapman perpetuates the fiction that Sen. Obama is some sort of bipartisan leader in the Senate, something directly contradicted by his highly partisan voting record.
As noted by our friend Bill Baar, there are 3 Obama's, one in the press, the one who campaigns, and the one who votes. None of the 3 are very consistent with each other. Chapman goes to new lengths to try to convince Tribune readers that the gentleman Obama is the real one. Could Steve possibly look at the audacious Senators voting record before making such bold proclamations?
