I guess some don't 'get it.'
He is the People's President. There isn't any People's Choice Awards that is the level of Hollywood, so that most Americans that are disconnected from the reality of poverty today in the USA will understand. The elections of 2008 were The People's Choice Elections and Obama is the guy, okay?
He knows his job, he knows the nation's needs and all the folks that have come to serve in his cabinet and failed and are failing is NOT his fault. He gave 'em a chance. He thought they would be able to work with him. They can't or won't so he keeps 'the faith' and in return 'we all do.'
Nothing 'hard' about this or about this President. He is on OUR side and he listens to us all the time. It is unfortunate Republicans are so 'closed' to the needs and best interests of a nation that they can't get out of their own way ! We don't need the return of Republican agendas. They never worked and what President Obama is facing now is a country completely exploited and trying to turn the corner on "W"rong "W"ay 'Dubya.'
When the states that still abide by Repubilcan ideologies come to terms with the fact their lives are elevated by programs and policies brought to them by Democrats we won't have to put up with federally elected officials that have 'Opposition Behavior Disorder' while they try to maintain their 'political profiles' as those that can bring tax relief to 'their base.'
I live for the day when a new 'second' party emerges, but, am completely satisfied with ONE !
I think Barak said he is faced with a "Perfect Economic Storm." He's right and he is moving in every direction to move the country to a path of restoration of its democracy and economy. His presidency will prove to be one of the most dynamics administrations in the history of the USA and Rahm Emanuel is an asset to its formation. There is no blame game here except for those that FAIL to bring about the change demanded ! Rahm is an eloquent speaker to the priorities of the administration and shares in the expediency of this President.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13 -- Twenty-four days into his presidency, Barack Obama recorded last night a legislative achievement of the sort that few of his predecessors achieved at any point in their tenure.
In size and scope, there is almost nothing in history to rival the economic stimulus legislation that Obama shepherded through Congress in just over three weeks. And the result -- produced largely without Republican participation -- was remarkably similar to the terms Obama's team outlined even before he was inaugurated: a package of tax cuts and spending totaling about $775 billion....

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Henrietta Hughes slept only a few hours that first night, her pickup truck's seat barely reclining. For the next seven months, she and her son camped night after night in obscure parking lots a alongside the same nameless faces....
...Obama kissed Henrietta Hughes' cheek Tuesday and promised to help the 61-year-old and her son, who have fallen on hard times like so many others in this southwest Florida city. A few years ago, the area boomed with new homes and businesses. Now the foreclosure rates are among the nation's highest and the unemployment rate has nearly tripled....
