I Was Supposed To Be Authoritative, But

The First Time I Met Bill Clinton Was Actually 1988.

No Doubt, The White House Thinks The American People Know Obama's Story. But Since The Inauguration, We've Seen Only The President's Present: His Perfect Family, His Ivy League Elegance, His Effortless Mastery Of Complex Issues. We Never See Him Sweat. And We Forget That He Ever Had To Struggle.

Part Of Obama's Persona Is Self-reliance. He's Calm; He's Cool; He's Self-possessed. In Many Ways, He Has Tried To Define Himself In Opposition To Clinton's Sometimes Needy, Often Undisciplined, Emotionalism.

Women Have To Be The Biggest Champions In The World Of Other Women's Choices.

Obama Has Become Too Dependent On Formal Speeches And Set Town Halls. His Idea Of Mixing It Up Is Taking Off His Jacket.
