The Secrets of Obama's Underappreciated Success Barack Obama's right-wing opponents have cast him as a socialist failure.Fish oil softgel His left-wing hecklers see him as an over-cautious hedger. But, critics notwithstanding,Ray Ban President Obama is on the path to be a huge success by the time of November's midterm elections. Before the Right jabbers (what about the huge debt, the broken tax pledge, the paucity of overseas accomplishments?), the Left yammers (Guantanamo hasn't been closed, gays aren't serving openly in the military, too many policies cater to business interests!), and the media chides (POTUS and party poll numbers are down, Washington is more partisan than ever), look at the two key metrics that underscore Obama's accomplishments. It is too early to assess the ultimate measure of victory — whether the President's actions have been prudent and beneficial, domestically and internationally. But by Election Day, 2010, Obama will have soundly achieved many of his chief campaign promises while running a highly competent, scandal-free government. Not bad for a guy whose opponents (in both parties) for the White House suggested he was too green in national life to know how to do the job — and whose presidency began in the midst of a worldwide economic crisis that demanded urgent attention and commanded much of his focus. Let's start with the competence Obama has shown.Ray Ban As he proved in the campaign, he is a master of personnel decisions, choosing people who are excellent at what they do, but also requiring that they play nicely with others. In the two most vital areas, national security and economic policy, all the President's women and men generally get along well and have had critical roles in advancing the agenda.Fish oil softgel It is true that the economic team in particular has some rivalries, and the administration still hasn't figured out how to overcome its collectively weak public communications skills on the economy. But overall, the White House is populated by hard workers who are rowing in unison to advance the cause, and rarely take their disagreements public through damaging leaks. Obama's two best personnel decisions were probably the two men serving right below him — Vice President Joe Biden and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Yes, Biden still falls victim to caricature as an irrepressible bigmouth and is the butt of late-night jokes. And Emanuel can be overly brash and flutter nerves both on Capitol Hill and among administration allies. But Obama knew what he was getting in both men and they have performed up to or above his expectations. With West Wing offices right across the hall from each other, Biden and Emanuel often work in tandem, each doing more heavy lifting than is publicly seen or commonly known. Obama — who proved during the campaign that he knows how to maintain full control of his operation without micro-managing — sets the tone and overall goals, and then allows his Veep and his Chief, along with other senior advisers, to execute the plans. Biden has traveled extensively overseas and around the country and helped to coordinate both national security policy and congressional strategy, while dealing with governors and mayors on the economy.Fish oil softgel Politically, he is expected to be an asset in the midterms, as he was in 2008,Ray Ban with the kind of white working class voters who appreciate his homely truths and affable manner, and who still haven't warmed to Obama.
