Politics | Barack Obama Get Mad, or Go Home: Pundits Klein, Carville to Obama: Show some feeling, already By Gabriel Winant Posted Aug 21, 2008 1:15 PM CDT Copied Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

His message on the economy, this year’s key issue, won’t work until he can show some “real passion” to voters. “Obama will have a hard time winning unless he finds some of it.” Obama can’t cut the Republicans any slack on the economy, James Carville adds on CNN.com. “There's no need to listen to McCain's marginal rates, death tax, deregulation, trickle-down, supply-side shenanigans.” It’s not enough just to talk about the issues, though, says Carville. “My last piece of advice to Obama and his team is to just get mad about something.” Read These Next New York Times ranks the best movies of the 21st century.
