Obama’s reputation for competence is at risk.
By Karl Rove
My Comment: Barack Obama has shown himself to be an outstanding campaigner and, so far, a poor CEO. There’s a difference between campaigning and governing, and I’m not sure he has figured this out. (Nor did Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton.) In just a month in the Oval Office, the junior senator from Illinois has dug some pretty deep holes for the nation (such as a return to the era of big government). I’m not saying he can’t get out of them, but the performance so far has not matched the hype.
