The Rolling Stone has an article about the Obama Presidency and this part is important:
Polls show that only 12 percent of Americans realize that Obama cut their taxes; indeed, twice that number thought the president had raised them. Just 29 percent understand that the stimulus boosted the economy, and 81 percent believe that the deficit-slashing health care reform will actually increase the deficit.Axelrod tries to spin this as a result of the President being too focused on policy to do the necessary PR but I think he's covering his ass.

I realize you believed it was necessary or used to, but this was a tipoff to most hard core progs that change was not a comin.'
Then there's war and Middle East policy. How depressing. The guy gets tagged as pro-Muslim by those with a truly evil agenda while the Moslem/Arab world steadily loses faith in him.

I was also disappointed that EFCA "card check" wasn't passed.
