Trending Obama By Matt Bai After Super Tuesday, I was surprised to find that a friend of mine, a lifelong Democrat who had been pledging his allegiance to Barack Obama all year, had stepped into the voting booth and suddenly changed is mind. He voted, instead, for Hillary Clinton, and here’s why: he’d watched that video online —you know, the one starring celebrities like will.i.am, Scarlett Johansson and Herbie Hancock—and he thought it made Obama look Hollywood smug, as if supporting him were this year’s version of wearing an AIDS ribbon on your lapel. My friend didn’t want anything to do with the latest chic cause, and he just couldn’t bring himself to pull the lever for the guy who now symbolized the things he liked least about Democratic politics, starting with all those stars who think they know more about America than the people who live in it. There’s not really much Mr. Obama can do about the sudden trendiness of his campaign — it’s not like he called up will.i.am and said, “Dude, ever considered grooving on one of my speeches?” But watching him speak Tuesday after he romped through another patch of primary wins, it certainly seemed as if he now grasped the limits of that appeal. In his speech on Super Tuesday, and throughout much of his campaign, Mr. Obama talked so much about his candidacy in terms of a “movement” that he sometimes seemed more interested in organizing the country than in governing it. This week, in a subtle but significant shift, he hit on tax cuts and infrastructure, on the need to change the culture around education, on a national service program. He followed up Wednesday with a major economic address at a GM plant in Wisconsin, where he aggressively sought to put to rest some of the questions about whether there was substance behind the rhetoric. His proposals range from small, consumer-friendly innovations, like a rating system to assess the riskiness of credit card offers, to much more expansive public investment ideas, like a $60 billion fund for infrastructure projects and a $150 billion project to create jobs in alternative energy fields.
