Obama critics say his economic vision is hazy - what has led Obama into trouble is the political failure to convince voters that he's doing everything possible to ease their pain.

I support President Obama, but he must quickly figure out how to sell his economic programs; even though presidents have 4-terms, they don't get a second term without the confidence of voters, which is often developed in the first two years

"But what has led Obama into trouble is not so much the quality of technical advice he has received as it is the political failure to convince voters that he's doing everything possible to ease their pain.

A year into their task of saving the sinking economy, Obama's advisors have garnered kudos from much of the nation's economic elite, but Obama has not yet found a way to instill public confidence as Franklin D. Roosevelt did during his first year of fighting the Great Depression." http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-obama-econ25-2010jan25,0,1243992.story (sent via Shareaholic)
