Obama Misunderstands the Role of the Presidency - Constant campaign mode.

"Last week House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio delivered a stinging critique of the Obama administration's economic policies. But the White House's swift and tart reaction to Boehner was both illuminating and sadly predictable.

On the day of the speech, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer offered a "pre-buttal," ripped from the playbook of a presidential campaign. Vice President Biden joined the fray, donning his full-electoral jacket, reminding us once again that it was another president that got us into this mess.

Blame is like classic rock for this administration – they like it so much they never stop playing it."

Blaming the other Party when you're running for office is expected. But if you win, you're expected to start leading the Nation. Not keep running for office and blaming the other Party for your own failures.

These spontaneous outbursts of opinion are unnecessary, revealing, and destructive. They are unnecessary because as president, he doesn't need to engage in every local controversy. That he does paints him as man with more hubris than judgment, who doesn't understand the nuanced differences between campaigning and governing.

Everybody knows Obama ran a great campaign to get elected. Blame Bush, blame the Republicans, promise anything to get elected.

The problem is, he never stopped campaigning.
