Author Says Obama Faces New Crisis with Election Loss of Top Democrats

The announcement that Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Dodd and other leading Democrats won’t run for re-election puts poses a new crisis President Obama. In his new book How Obama Governed: The Year of Crisis and Challenge, author and political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson predicted that there would be major losses among Democrats in 2010. He noted that some of those losses would be among top Democrats.

Hutchinson notes that this could cripple Obama’s efforts to get his agenda on immigration, cap and trade, implementing health care reforms, and his judicial appointments through Congress. It will also mortally wound Obama’s efforts to make bi-partisanship the watchword of his administration.

“The loss, defection, and potential defeat of top Democrats in 2010 will stiffen the GOP in its opposition to much of Obama’s agenda,” says Hutchinson, “It will also put Democrats on the political defensive. This will present yet another major challenge to Obama’s administration to stem the tide of political reverses.”

In How Obama Won, Hutchinson gives a no holds barred assessment of the make and break issues that confront Obama in 2010. These are the issues that will determine whether Obama can really deliver on his lofty promise of hope and change.

Author Tells Why Obama Flopped on Health Care Reform

President Barack Obama called health reform the centerpiece of his agenda. He says that passage of the health reform bill will be a triumph for the country. Author and political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson disputes Obama’s declaration that health care reform is a victory for the country and even his administration. In his new book How Obama Governed predicted that the health care reform fight would prove a disaster for the Obama administration. Hutchinson noted that Obama simply did not have the political experience, skill or energy to educate congress and the American public on what and why his version of health care reform was right for the needs of the country.

The result, as Hutchinson, predicted, has been a fiasco. Whatever health care reform bill that finally emerges from Congress and that Obama signs will infuriate and inflame liberals and conservatives. It will be a major hammer that the GOP will effectively wield against Obama in the media and on the political trail. It will be a tipping point for the GOP to make a major inroad in Congress and state governments in 2010.

Hutchinson notes that Obama’s handling of health care, the economy, the Iraq and Afghan wars, and financial reform are vital litmus tests that voters will use to gauge Obama’s effectiveness as a president and effective leader. The jury so far is leaning decidedly against him.

In How Obama Governed, Hutchinson gives a no holds barred assessment of the make and break issues that confront Obama in 2010. These are the issues that will determine whether Obama can really deliver on his lofty promise of hope and change.

Author Tells Why Obama’s Continued Popularity has Plunged Faster than Bush’s

President Obama’s popularity rating in December polls has plummeted faster than former President Bush’s at the same juncture of their presidency. In his new book How Obama Governed: The Year of Crisis and Challenge, author and political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson predicted that Obama’s popularity ratings would drop fast.  “The war, the economy, and health care reform were important in Obama’s popularity plunge, Hutchinson argues, “they aren’t the only reason for the drop.”

Obama is a victim of his own rhetoric of hope and change, says Hutchinson in How Obama Won. Obama revved up people’s expectations of immediate change on everything from the economy to the wars. The performance could never match the rhetoric, says Hutchinson

“The problem is that Obama tapped into the public’s deep seated frustration and disgust with politics and politicians,” says Hutchinson, “Once the tap was made the public expected Obama to be different and act different than other politicians. The reality is that he’s no different and that’s a prescription for personal and political failure.”

Hutchinson further predicts that Obama’s popularity numbers will continue to plunge in 2010 and that the Democrats will be mortally hurt in the year’s mid term elections.

In How Obama Won, Hutchinson gives a no holds barred assessment of the make and break issues that confront Obama in 2010. These are the issues that will determine whether Obama can really deliver on his lofty promise of hope and change.
