Richard Cohen Yearns for Obama to Be Like LBJ

Okay, back to Cohen whining about Obama's lack of political skills which was ignored by the liberal media four years ago:  [emphasis added]

But Obama cannot or will not indulge in the sort of face-to-face politicking that Johnson so favored. He has not stroked important contributors — one bundler told me he never hears from Obama. As the New York Times put it recently in an article about his fundraising on Wall Street, Obama himself has “a reputation for being cold at small gatherings.” “I just don’t think he likes us,” one fundraiser is quoted as saying.

The best that can be said for Obama is that he treats everyone with about the same degree of distance. One important Democrat used the term “cuckoo-clock events” to refer to White House receptions where Obama robotically appears, says a minimal amount of words and then disappears. He does not mingle — or, if he does, it is as little as possible. Bill Clinton, in contrast, was the host from hell. The party never ended.

They were just happy to have the first black president.  Now they wished he was what they dreamed he was back then.  Just a bad case of being stuck on stupid.
