More in sorrow than in anger (at least for now):Two liberal bloggers on Obama's too-cool style and lack of political-base love.
Joan Walsh - on Obama's failure to castigate Republicans and generally boost the Democrats' brand
John Aravosis - on Obama's failure to be seen exerting much energy behind the scenes (or anywhere, for that matter)
And the New York Times has similar
thoughts:
But a year and a half into this presidency, the contemplative nature that was so appealing in a candidate can seem indecisive in a president. His promise of bipartisanship seems naïve. His inclination to hold back, then ride to the rescue, has sometimes made problems worse.
These three complaints all were issued in recent days (6-14, 6-13, 6-11) so there definitely is something in the air.
