Obama's Dilemma

As seen in the Daily Dish, author,editor and political conservative commentator, Andrew Sullivan, discusses the fundamental problems that Obama faces today.Obama made an opening speech evaluating what needs to be done to our country in order to succeed,

Given how much stuff was coming at us, we probably spent much more time trying to get the policy right than trying to get the politics right... I think anybody who's occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can't be neglecting of marketing and PR and public opinion.

 Even though I do like Obama as president, some of his choices haven't been the best. However, unlike the rest he acknowledged his errors and he is determined to make some necessary changes.He is able to speak publicly of his flawless, unafraid of self-criticism. At this moment, he is the best thing we have, and we are fortunate to have him. However, Sullivan does point out the chaos Obama has to face, uninterested in his people,

Politically, he had to deal with a GOP gone insane, and a propaganda machine of such virulence and relentlessness that you can see he is where he is. But although he is right that he lost the connection to us, his supporters, I don't think he could have kept up the hope and change inspiration indefinitely.

Even though this form of action would be profoundly ridiculed, Obama himself has proved to be doing very well politically, out beating others before him. Overall, Obama might actually have what it takes to turn our economy around.
