Obama making sense yet again (is this a bad trait for a politician?)

Obama: Clinton using GOP playbook

WASHINGTON - After days on the campaign defensive, Democrat Barack Obama accused rival Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday of leveling criticism straight from the Republican playbook and said even so, he will win the White House over John McCain and an "out of touch" GOP.

"I may have made a mistake last week in the words that I chose, but the other party has made a much more damaging mistake in the failed policies they've chosen and the bankrupt philosophy that they've embraced for the last three decades ..." Obama said.

"This philosophy isn't just out of touch, it's put our economy out of whack."

I'm actually starting to wonder if making sense and speaking to the American public as if they were adults is a bad political move. Obama isn't condescending, doesn't get upset or frustrated - despite having every right to - and stays cool, calm, articulate and rational.
I'm afraid that some Americans don't want these traits in their president!
