learning there are some things POTUS does that are unpopular, but have to be done. Not exactly a style a professional campaigner is happy or good with.
Some of the about faces he has made reflect this happening.
He will in time....I CERTAINLY HOPE....will do what has to be done for the sake of saving America....regardless the popularity of the issue.
He is very uncomfortable when having to take a position similar to or in support of what Bush said/did.
Obama is a populist.....one cannot be a populist and a good POTUS.
He stands a better chance at faking it when needed with the ready assitance of his media darlings.
