American Exceptionalism Is The Recurring Character In

Anything Can Go Wrong In A Debate, And Obama Is Not A Perfect Debater.

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.

The Failure Of The White House And Congress To Seriously Address The Nation's Fiscal Situation Is Certain To Broaden The Belief Among Many Voters That The U.s. Political System Is Broken.

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.
