"Obama's Policy Team Loaded With All-Stars," Says the Chicago Tribune and That's Part of His Problem

    "Obama's Policy Team Loaded With All-Stars," reads the headline, and ironically, that's a large part of his problem gaining lift-off. Obama supporters would feel a good deal more confident if there were a headline which read, "Obama's Speechwriting Team Loaded With All-Stars." Gifted policy advisers are great once you're president. But you first have to get elected and the way to do that is by showing people where you plan to lead them, not by releasing innovative policy papers. This campaign is spending its energy in the wrong areas.
