WOWW, Part 1

“WOWW” stands for “Where Obama Went Wrong.” Beginning today, I will present various theories I have heard from Democrats. Then I will unveil my own super-secret, foolproof answer.
 
Obama’s theory – articulated by him before the election and by several Democrats since – is that he “got the policy right and the politics wrong.”

Call this the Cool Hand Luke Theory: “What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
 
No, say a couple of smart North Carolina Democrats: He went wrong by letting a Democratic Congress write health care reform and the stimulus bill. By the time those ugly processes were over, Americans had no idea what the final bills did, but every suspicion that both were full of bad things and wasteful spending.
 
Next: The “There Was Nothing He Could Do Theory.”
