Call to Arms

(Fox News) - Supporters of Michelle's husband are calling on him to — as headlined in The Hill newspaper — "trade his kid gloves for boxing gloves." They are said to be urging Barack Obama to go after Hillary Clinton more aggressively on issues such as her reluctance to release her tax returns — and her vote to authorize the Iraq war. And they want him to respond to Clinton's increasingly negative campaigning.

Obama supporter Congressman John Varmuth of Kentucky — "He doesn't lose his cool very often, but some of these things deserve a more passionate response. Maybe he should show a little anger."

And Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia says — " People will ask, 'Is he tough enough? Does he have a glass jaw? Is he aggressive enough to be president?' Nice guys truly finish last in politics."
