Barack an Underdog

Willie Brown is a California Democratic phenomenon - long-time Speaker of the State Assembly, mayor of San Fran and essentially "Mr. Democrat." He now does a column for the San Francisco Chronicle and he's written some interesting stuff about Obama:

The president's trip to the Bay Area last week made it painfully clear that the Barack Obama re-election campaign has lost its mojo.
There was no life, no personality, no memorable line or moment and no real enthusiasm in the entire fundraising foray. In short, there was no buzz.
It was like a summer rerun of a show that wasn't very interesting to begin with.
Worse yet, Obama sounded like he was playing catch-up to Mitt Romney. I can't think of anything that should have him in that role, but he's acting like the underdog.
Obama was more than a candidate last time out. He was a popular and cultural phenomenon. A rock star. But the trouble with rock stars is that they drop like a rock once fans conclude they are "over."

Unless I'm much mistaken, California's senior Democrat thinks BHO is a loser in 2012. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
