We, the people. Manifest Destiny. Conceived in liberty. Fear itself. Ask not. Morning in America. United we stand. Yes, we can. In times of great change and tumult, presidents seek to inspire beleaguered Americans by reminding them of their national identity.

Clearly, the Obama presidency hasn't wiped out racial prejudices.

Barack Obama won a second term but no mandate. Thanks in part to his own small-bore and brutish campaign, victory guarantees the president nothing more than the headache of building consensus in a gridlocked capital on behalf of a polarized public.

Palin seems to have forgotten that her poll ratings have plummeted since the summer of 2011.

Obama is capable - as evidenced by his first-term success with health care reform. But mandate-building requires humility, a trait not easily associated with him.

Anything can go wrong in a debate, and Obama is not a perfect debater.
Ron Fournier
Image
Got good news and bad news for you, Mr. President. The good news is that Chief Justice John Roberts just saved your legacy and, perhaps, your presidency by writing for the Supreme Court majority to rule health care reform constitutional.

The fact that Obama is getting criticism from the left and the right might reflect his understanding of the underlying political dynamics.

Don't stigmatize in a rush to explain inexplicable evil.

Obama does not need to worry as much as past Democratic presidents about being labeled soft on national security - not after giving the order that led to the assassination of Osama bin Laden. No, his biggest concern is being labeled tone deaf on joblessness and debt.

Obama shows no sign of easing up on negativity.

A presidential debate is a job interview. And voters look for certain traits in people applying to be president.
