Obama Needs Good Timing on Hope Rollercoaster
“We operate under the assumption that the president will be a negative for us.”
-- Aide to a Democratic senator talking to Power Play about the role the president will have on the 2012 election.
Hurricane Irene may yet chase President Obama out of his Martha’s Vineyard retreat. Even if the winds don’t force the media-conscious president’s early departure, concern of being away from the seat of government during a natural disaster may do the trick.
Certainly the storm will deny the president the start of his scheduled comeback tour: the dedication of the Martin Luther King monument in Washington. Obama, who often invokes the slain civil rights leader in his own defense, will not be able to stand at King’s feet as he tries to get back on track with an antagonized electorate.
(Former Obama Green jobs czar Van Jones said the storm should be re-named “Hurricane David Duke” for the disruption.)
Many told the president not to take the trip in the first place. With the economy crumbling (and his approval ratings going right along with it), markets in chaos and the allied effort to oust Col. Muammar Qaddafi approaching a perilous end, friends and foes alike called on the president to reschedule his family vacation. Maxine Waters and Mitt Romney agreed: Obama should have been trying to create jobs instead of golfing on the Vineyard.
Then an earthquake hit Washington and Irene started churning toward the coast, and the vacation seemed even more star-crossed.
Obama’s supporters and almost all his fellow Democrats are despairing over the president’s political depression. Liberals fear Obama may have forever lost the chance to be the modern Franklin Roosevelt and remake American society. Moderates worry that Obama will be a huge drag in the 2012 elections. Democrats of every stripe increasingly worry that Obama is headed for Jimmy Carter one-term status.
Given the grab bag of policy re-treads that the administration has leaked out in advance of the president’s long-promised plans on jobs and debt reduction, Democrats are not exactly getting psyched up for a new Obama surge. Given the cliffhanger approach to the revelation of the policies – “We have a plan, but we won’t tell you until September” – anything short of the discovery of cold fusion will probably fall flat.

Hurricane Irene is still driving Obama to withdraw Martha Vineyard. Even if the winds do not force early departure of President-conscious media, the desire to be away from the seat of government during a natural disaster can do the trick.
