Shrouded in Mystery

Charles Krauthammer points out how odd it is that Barack Obama has no buddies or associates to testify to him or his character.

knew him, and I think few others did either.  Almost everything about him seemed careful and calculated not to generate any controversy that could trip him up later.

Michael Froman -- former chief of staff to Bob Rubin and described here as an Obama advisor -- was with us on the Review.  Strangely, he's been silent.  Perhaps Barack was worried at the convention about touting his Harvard Law School friends, lest he again drive home his elitism?

Even if so, it's highly revealing of his views and inexperience that Barack Obama's circle of friendship would be limited to radicals and school friends.
