#1 Obama plays more like Charles I rather than Charles II. Egotism, court/patronage games, tax problems, skirting law and tradition to achieve his ends, favoritism, vacillation in policies and practices, punishing 'enemies', tossing associates 'under the bus', etc. Once thought the brightest to inherit the happiest kingdom in Christendom while the continent heaved in sectarian fratricide, would bring forth pain and disorder to home.

#2 The President's descriptions of the situation are comprehensive and urbane. He correctly identifies the forces at work. He develops interesting policy ideas and approaches that address important political and moral elements of the complex problems we face. He crafts approaches that might, with good will and deft management, bridge the gaps between the sides. He reads thoughtful speeches full of sensible reflections.
