Obama Considers Himself Above Deal-making And Back-slapping,

Every Now And Then, A Presidential Candidate Surprises Us With A Truly Human And Honest Moment.

President Obama Is Casting His Lot In The Middle Of A Debate As Old As America Itself: Are We Rugged Individualists Pulling Ourselves Up By The Bootstraps? Or Are We A Nation Of Community, All Connected And Counting On One Another?

For A Man Who Has Compared Himself To Theodore Roosevelt And The Nation's Challenges To Those Of The Gilded Age, Obama Put Forward A Tepid Agenda.

Somebody Must Be Up And Somebody Must Be Down. Trouble Is, Campaigns Are Messy, Subtle Creatures That Don't Follow Convenient Narratives.

Most Tea Party Activists Consider Obama A Big-spending Liberal. Some Even Question His Eligibility To Be President.
