Obama: Man in the Muddle
By MICHAEL GOODWIN, New York Post
Perhaps it was inevitable. A man who voted "present" 130 times in the Illinois Legislature couldn't possibly morph into a savvy and decisive leader of the free world in such a short time. Yet even the pessimists among us are alarmed by the cloud of uncertainty and confusion hanging over the White House.
Less than a year on the job, President Obama seems to have run out of both charm and ideas. The biggest issues facing a president are the economy and national security.
They are the whole ballgame. Everything else is detail. It is now frighteningly obvious Obama doesn't have a clear, understandable strategy on either. It's one thing to lack confidence in a president's plan. It's quite another when he doesn't have a plan. He began his hokey job summit by conceding many viewed it as a gimmick, then promptly confirmed those suspicions by saying it was time to put aside partisanship.
This from the guy who gives blank checks and high praise to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the most partisan congressional leaders in recent memory.
