Every time he makes a speech, you can see him trying to recapture the "magic." I'm afraid it isn't going to happen again.

He's in a tough spot.

Imagine, having squandered your presidency on 2400 pages of "Obamacare", and realizing that the first actions taken by Congress after you're kicked out -- on Jan 21, 2013, will be to repeal it with a single sentence. If the Supreme Court doesn't kill it first.

He might have become a great liberal leader had he waited 10 years until he had a little experience under his belt. Of course, by then, his 24 year old speechwriter would have been an adult, and might have lacked the child-like idealism that sucked everyone in.
