The Aura Has Faded, Now Its Either Govern Or Fail.

Now that his aura is faded in the eyes of most Americans, Obama has successfully isolated himself from just about every group that matters in American political circles. How much worse can it get? The fact is many Democrats now consider the Adminstration an inattentive and hapless political operation. Democratic lobbyists feel slighted by his holier-than-thou take on their profession. His own Cabinet, with few exceptions, has been marginalized.

His relations with business leaders could hardly be worse. CEOs friendly with the president walk away feeling he’s indifferent at best to their concerns.
