McCain Gaining On Obama

Newsweek is reporting in it's latest poll that Senator John McCain has closed Barack Obama's lead down to 3 points. Newsweek surmises, probably correctly that Obama's recent changes in position on items such as campaign finance, and faith based initiatives are alienating some of his liberal base.
Obama needs to tighten up his message and get away from his sometimes condescending and arrogant style of speaking. Black people in general are OK with him talking about personal responsibility, but telling America that we have to speak a foreign language may be outside of his potential scope of authority. Speaking a foreign language is probably not a top priority in these economic times, so Mr. Obama, please get back to a relevant message in which Americans can identify and believe.
