The Obama government seems to be suffering from self-pity. The press secretary of the President Robert Gibbs is worried that Obama is not being lauded as much as before from the liberals.

It is not surprising as the country is in a mess. The economy is in shambles with millions of citizens facing destitution. More and more from the middle class who had never dreamt that such a time would come are now lining up at food pantries.

The Afghanistan War is continuing gobbling up human lives and dollars without showing anything but negative results. Recently The Times reported that an ambitious project that was intended to show the forward march of the Afghan Army has turned into a sad debacle.

At home the schools are bleeding without resources thanks to the meltdown in budgets. Teachers are getting laid off and libraries are shutting down. Young Americans are falling behind their contemporaries in other parts of the developed world. Graduation rates are falling at an alarming pace.

At such a point of time Obama should have put aside concern for lack of euphoria among the liberals to do a post mortem on the state of affairs to find out what could be done to better the fast falling condition of the country.
The liberals are not the only ones who are gloomy. NBC News conducted a poll and found that out of ten Americans six believed that the country is moving along the wrong track. The majority are not at all happy with the way Obama administration is tackling the economic problems. Two thirds are apprehensive that the economy will further decline.

The problem of Obama and the country is that it is in the middle of a horrendous economic mess – it is worse than when he took over the reins. He did not give as much importance as he should have to the generation of jobs; this should have been his top priority. It is this focusing on job creation that would have brought back his popularity. It would have brought together people coming from different political streams.

In the first half of 2009 unemployment swelled to more than half a million in a month. The country was in dire need of leadership that would be both bold and innovative. Obama had this chance to get the whole of America behind him in a massive rebuilding movement.
