From Politico: Some good advice for any leader -- in spite of his popularity, a bit of skepticism can be good. Seven reasons to be skeptical of Obama’s chances — and the Washington establishment he now leads:
1. The genius fallacy -- he has appointed all these brilliant people that the press is "gaga-ing" over. Have we forgotten what JFK's "best and brightest" did to this country, especially in Vietnam?
2. The herd instinct -- the herd is saying "do this" or "do that" with the economy, but is the consensus correct?
3. We are broke -- politicians don't seem to realize money is finite (and California Democrats seem to be the worst example of this).
4. Words, words, words -- will Obama be more than words?
5. He rarely challenges the home team -- Obama challenges Republicans and voters, but he has never challenged his supporters.
6. Everyone is winging it -- the bottom line is no one knows for sure what to do.
7. The watchdogs are dozing -- the press isn't scrutinizing Obama or the Democrat congress.
