Op-Ed Options for PS308

For any Prez Watchers looking for issues to frame an op-ed on Obama around, what ideas can we come up with? (Without doing the work of seminar members for them?)

Jon Stewart's reference to Obama last night as "dude" when Obama said he told Summers "he'd done a heckuva job" -- language that W used when he told FEMA Director and friend Mike Brown that his work on Katrina was top-flight -- was this crossing over the line in respect that the office deserves?

Do Democrats deserve to get whacked in this election? IF so, why? And what role does Obama play in this?

Did Obama mess up by putting Health Care Reform ahead of tending to jobs on his domestic policy agenda?

Did Obama mess up by appointing ____________ to positions of key policy influence in his administration?

Did Obama mess up by failing to appoint an iconic year person to his cabinet or to a temporary post? To shore up his success on the backs of first-time voters to say, in effect, he had their back?
