		<description><![CDATA[The wheels are coming off the wagon of the Obama presidency. He needs to get a grip quick or he&#8217;s going to be painted with the Carter curse &#8211; that horrible, contagious sense people get that the President is essentially a powerless passenger, lacking will, lacking a decisive, well, plan. The latest and most strategically [...]]]></description>

Listening to Senator John Kyl&#8217;s floundering and blustering at the State of the Union address shows that it clearly hit home. Obama did what he had to do.

Both are tough, forward-thinking progressive politicians with total command of the briefs in question.  Many people inside and outside the Beltway are surprised that neither man was even in the running.

It&#8217;s time to try something a little different. Like leading.

If there&#8217;s one phrase that can truly chart Obama&#8217;s rise to glory it&#8217;s charm offensive. He never gets angry, he never gets mad, he always forgives, he&#8217;s always polite.
