The piece in the New York Times magazine this weekend on the Obama presidency illustrates how far he has fallen. A large chunk of it is
devoted to whether or not he can win re-election, something that most of his supporters used to take for granted.
Significantly, the Obama White House itself is admitting that things could have been done better:
“While proud of his record, Obama has already begun thinking about what went wrong — and what he needs to do to change course for the next two years. He has spent what one aide called “a lot of time talking about Obama 2.0” with his new interim chief of staff, Pete Rouse, and his deputy chief of staff, Jim Messina.”
I still tend to think that Obama will survive simply because there isn’t a stand out Republican candidate.
