They've taken his measure (Brothers Judd)
-
Mr. Obama had too little executive experience for anyone to expect he'd be a strong leader, but few anticipated he'd prove this weak this fast. There's a distinct whiff of the Peanut Farmer emanating from the Oval.

President Obama's Double Talk (Robert Samuelson, WaPo)
-
Obama is a great pretender. He repeatedly says he is doing things that he isn't, trusting his powerful rhetoric to obscure the difference.

-
"People are learning," says William Kovacs, vice president of environment, technology and regulatory affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (which has been cautious about embracing a climate plan). "The Obama budget did more to help us consolidate and coalesce the business community than anything we could have done. It's opened eyes to the fact that this is about a social welfare transfer system, not about climate."
