Obama doesn't need to lose his cool, because he has the temperament required for a tempestuous time. But Barack needs to develop a better sense of when to set cool aside and get down with average Americans.

Prius owners are turning into the elderly, erratic drivers we used to see in Oldsmobiles and Buicks. They drive slowly, even in the fast lane. They brake for stoplights 500 yards away.
