...arrogance, discipline or stubbornness, but Obama is not a freak-out kind of guy. He still believes this is a change election and that he's the change candidate; when it comes to strategy, he basically intends to stay the course and encourage his supporters to chill out. "People wonder sometimes, 'He seems pretty calm,'" Obama told a star-studded audience at the Streisand fund raiser. "The reason I am calm is, I have confidence in the American people."
