Barack Obama's performance as President - too cool, too professorial, too detached - suggests that he is not really one of us and that he has little clue as to the desires and feelings of the American people.
He also bring to mind the famous statement made by the late William F. Buckley Jr. who said that he would rather be governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone book than by the Harvard faculty. It is a shame that President Obama abandoned academia, where he belongs, for politics where, it seems, he is as disconnected from us as was President Jimmy Carter.
After President Clinton's disastrous second term, and George W. Bush's general ineptitude, America needed a successful President. We can only hope that Mr. Obama's similarities to President Carter include his retirement, whether forced or voluntary, after a single term.
