What ails Obama?

Poor guy, just two weeks in and everybody's beating on him like a rented mule. Salon claims he's not a great Communicator, but he can be... just say these things I believe.
My favorite line from this piece -
Democrats know the Republicans are wrong. Little children know they're wrong. Cats and dogs know they're wrong. But somehow this week, unbelievably, Obama and the Democrats seem to be losing the spin war.
Just like the old Saturday Night Live skit from 1988, when Jon Lovitz as Michael Dukakis looked at the camera and said "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy."
Maybe if Obama's friends would stop panicking, he could get things under control. If panic becomes the storyline, it can stay the storyline.
