The Obama Tragedy: No Narrative

[pgodbold]

Obama knew clearly what defines great leadership, per his 2006 speech: Americans, he declared, "are coming to the realization that something is missing. They are deciding that their work, their possessions, their diversions, their sheer busyness, is not enough. They want a sense of purpose, a narrative arc to their lives."

Today's majority perceives no national purpose, convinced again we're heading in the wrong direction, thus so many are abandoning Obama as pick your metaphor lost in the wilderness, out of his depth, or lurching from crisis to crises replete with uninspiring, "wait-and-see" missteps in the face of crises.

1. What a load of crapola....n/t

2. Personally, I see the car metaphor as boring--I hear it in lots

of his speeches. It is not inspiring.

[Sinistrous]

3. So many have chosen to focus solely

on the shortcomings of the administration and have turned a blind eye to its successes that they have created a powerful undertow that may (or will) sweep the country out to sea to drown in the Republican tide.

I have no hope.

4. Narrative.. a term used by TV models and Chuck Todd. Enough said. nt
