Where are the people to vouch for B Hussein?

Charles Krauthammer makes a great point in his Townhall.com piece this week. Just where are the people that can say they have accomplished something with B Hussein or can vouch for his character? No one is coming forward except his wife? The woman that just recently was proud of her country?

So where are the colleagues? The buddies? The political or spiritual soul mates? His most important spiritual adviser and mentor was Jeremiah Wright. But he's out. Then there's William Ayers, with whom he served on a board. He's out. Where are the others?

The oddity of this convention is that its central figure is the ultimate self-made man, a dazzling mysterious Gatsby. The palpable apprehension is that the anointed is a stranger -- a deeply engaging, elegant, brilliant stranger with whom the Democrats had a torrid affair. Having slowly woken up, they see the ring and wonder who exactly they married last night.
