Is Obama losing his Mojo?
Submitted June 06, 2009 by politico
During his golden year and a half, Obama caught a wave of change that propelled him into the White House, a wave that only grew stronger when he took office amid an economic crisis. When challenged, Obama has resorted to his rhetorical prowess to defuse controversies (the Rev. Wright), champion embattled policies (the stimulus) and even aspire to end long-standing civilizational animosities (the Muslim world's hostility to America).
The man and his words met the moment. Obama has been a phenomenon as much as a politician. Less JFK, more the Beatles. Less "Almanac of American Politics," more the Harry Potter series. At least until now.

Mojo
Score: 0Lowry is dead on! He has put into words what I have been thinking. There is no doubt Obama is intelligent and popular among the public that pays attention for 5 minutes and then zones out. He even shows character that we did not see from the Clinton White House. The similarities with the Carter White House are striking. A family oriented man that is out of place with fiscal conservatism and in the real world where there are entire cultures that hate America just because it is America. There is real evil in the world and it needs to be dealt with harshly. Diplomacy is lost on barbarians.
