I will cut President Barack Obama more slack than most of his critics right and left, but if he can lead his own party and articulate a coherent policy of intervention for the world's great superpower, it will be a great achievement.
It is not easy, however, when your party has spent most of the past generation trying to limit executive power and a Democratic president launches a war without authorization from Congress.
It is even harder if you take the American people for granted, start military operations in alliance with other countries, and do not address the citizens on television and radio from the Oval Office.
Mr. Obama is President of the United States, but he must grow quickly as a leader or he will be run out as a failure in 2012.

Run out as a failure in 2012, you say it like that's a bad thing.
Unfortunately, his failures are also ours.
