World-News

E.J. Dionne Jr., The Washington Post: "President Obama faces three overlapping questions: When will middle-of-the-road voters start blaming him for the sick economy? When will he act decisively to deal with the mess that is our banking system? And can he keep managing his political two-step of appealing simultaneously to centrists and progressives? He has to confront all three at once."

Roy Eidelson, Cognitive Policy Works: "The morning after last November's historic election, triumphant chants of 'Yes We Did' drowned out the Obama campaign message of 'Yes We Can.' Now only four months later, enthusiasm has waned, and last Friday the president felt the need to reassure reporters on Air Force One, 'I don't think that people should be fearful about our future.'"
