+ The New York Times offers "Can the Dude Abide?" by Maureen Dowd.
Excerpt 1: "Barack Obama became president by brilliantly telling his own story. To stay president, he will need to show he can understand our story."
Excerpt 2: "“We have done things that people don’t even know about,” said Obama, who left his Great Communicator mantle back in Grant Park on election night."
Excerpt 3: "His inner circle believed too much in the power of the Aura and in protecting the Brand. They didn’t think they needed to sell anything or fight back when the crazies started sliming them. They didn’t care that the average citizen needed an M.B.A. to understand the financial plan and a Ph.D. to fathom what the health care plan would mean."
Excerpt 4: "With his coalition and governing majority shattering around him, President Obama will have to summon political skills — starting Wednesday — that he has not yet shown he has."
