Presidential politics is about storytelling. Presented with a vivid storyline, voters naturally tend to fit every new event or piece of information into a picture that is already neatly framed in their minds.
No one understands this better than Barack Obama and his team, who won the 2008 election in part because they were better storytellers than the opposition. The pro-Obama narrative featured an almost mystically talented young idealist who stood for change in a disciplined and thoughtful way. This easily outpowered the anti-Obama narrative, featuring an opportunistic Chicago pol with dubious relationships who was more liberal than he was letting on.
A year into his presidency, however, Obama’s gift for controlling his image shows signs of faltering. As Washington returns to work from the Thanksgiving holiday, there are several anti-Obama storylines gaining momentum.
The Obama White House argues that all of these storylines are inaccurate or unfair. In some cases these anti-Obama narratives are fanned by Republicans, in some cases by reporters and commentators.
But they all are serious threats to Obama, if they gain enough currency to become the dominant frame through which people interpret the president’s actions and motives.
Here are seven storylines Obama needs to worry about:
-
the author thinks that Bully and Patsy are contradictory. I have noticed that the two are usually one and the same. He is defiantly a "at your throat or at your knees" kind of guy.
-
I was hoping the 57 states moment was in there but then again the media didn't say much about that. Now if Bush had said 57 states it would have been plastered all over the place.

Not at all if you look at who he bullies (Americans) and who he grovels to (anti-Americans).
Clear as a spring day.

There were 57 states while Obama was campaigning and now there's only 50 left after less than a year with him as as president. When are the DUmmies going to ask what happened to all the millions of people in those destroyed states? :-)

As it turns out all the jobs created and saved by Obama were in those 7 states. :lmao:

The media's memory is short when he speaks. Look at the promises he has broken since he has been elected
