Obama Must Get His Mojo Back

Eugene Robinson describes the president as "uninspired" at this point in time, just following the 2010 Election. This word seems to describe Obama exactly. While he has not given up and remains optimistic about the future, he has not done anything especially noteworthy in quite some time, and does not seem to have the same motivation. I think it is interesting that Obama admitted that he has gotten discouraged and that the economy has not improved as much as he was expecting. Whether or not this is a good thing for a president to admit is a tough question to answer. On the one hand, some may believe that the United States president should not admit to weaknesses. On the other hand, humility can often be a good characteristic for a person of such high power.
