Maureen is telling obama to put his "big-boy pants" on!  Good for her!

This was more apolegitic than critical of the Prez and was really a backhanded swipe at his critics.  The problem that Obama has is his beliefs and his policies.  But poeple like Dowd are in agreement with him on those beliefs and policies. So they cover for him consistently and unwaveringly, and when he doesn't sound Presidential to them and he is not as aggressive as they would like him to be on their "pet policy" initiative to radically change America, they show their disappointment with him without really ever being hard or challenging him!!

From the article:

 

It doesn’t feel like leadership. It doesn’t feel like you’re in command of your world.

How can we accept these reduced expectations and truculent passivity from the man who offered himself up as the moral beacon of the world, even before he was elected?

 

I doubt he was very appreciative of this article...it did criticize his critics but it pointed out his weakness as well.
