I still feel that it is his nature rather than a lack of experience which is the reason for the way he has negotiated issues. I also agree with you.... Michelle Obama keeps coming to mind. As his most trusted confidant, I want to know what she's thinking of all this. Because of her background and her temperament, I've much trouble imagining her being Ok with his performance negotiating with the R's.... She's someone I would have expected to shame him into going to Wisconsin to stand with those firemen, teachers and nurses....

It's a complex issue and we may never really know... any more than we can know why some players can hit a fastball one week and not the next. Candidate Obama did promise to change the tone of Washington, from one of confontation and discord to one of compromise and unity. He's certainly tried to fulfill that promise. Unfortunately many, including me, suspect that he waited to long to realize that compromise and unity work only if both sides want it to work. Other times, people, like kids, listen better when their feet are off the ground. Obama needs to be aggressive and grab some of those legislators and hold them off the ground until they listen up.
