The Limits of Charisma - Howard Fineman

I liked it so I'm sharing it. .


If ubiquity were the measure of a presidency, Barack Obama would already be grinning at us from Mount Rushmore. But of course it is not. Despite his many words and television appearances, our elegant and eloquent president remains more an emblem of change than an agent of it. He's a man with an endless, worthy to-do list?health care, climate change, bank reform, global capital regulation, AfPak, the Middle East, you name it?but, as yet, no boxes checked "done." This is a problem that style will not fix.

Here's another one along the same lines...

Sooner or later it is going to occur to Barack Obama that he is the president of the United States. As of yet, though, he does not act that way, appearing promiscuously on television and granting interviews like the presidential candidate he no longer is.
