Barack Obama and the Exhausted Presidency

BigGovernment "One fact is emblematic. Obama managed to get elected editor of The Harvard Law Review without having to do what all of his predecessors did — which is to write an article of a quality that would allow it to be published in the journal. With the one exception mentioned above, his political races have been easy. Events consistently broke in his favor. He has never really been tested — until now. And, of course, now he finds himself in over his head. Obama’s difficulties are of his own making, and they arise from his failure thus far to recognize what it means to be President of the United States."
