Movies such as 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' in 1939 to 'Dave' in 1993 portray Washington leaders as the ultimate Everymen - decent people just like you and me, only thrust onto greatness.

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

Don't kid yourself. President Obama's decision to withdraw 33,000 troops from Afghanistan before he stands for reelection is not driven by the United States' 'position of strength' in the war zone as much as it is by grim economic and political realities at home.

The 2016 presidential election is ripe for the emergence of a game-changing political leader who either dramatically reforms one of the existing parties or mounts an independent bid.
Ron Fournier

Obama shows no sign of easing up on negativity.

I'm hearing echoes of Bill Clinton, circa 1996, in President Obama's reelection rhetoric.

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