Obama just needs a little affirmation.Ever get in a slump? Ever need a morale lift or a little pep talk? That’s President Obama right now.
Life in the White House can be tough. I’m sure it can get you down. But not Obama; he has a cure for the White House blues.
It’s so very obvious. President Obama is constantly itching to get out of the White House and back on the campaign trail that was so invigorating for him—for all of us. You know—all the crowds, the adoring fans, the verbal affirmation, the hand-shaking, autographs and thunderous applause... In the 21st century, campaigning for the next election begins the month you take office.
Since his election, Obama has not wasted any time getting out in the community—from Ohio to California. And while there are many who are not impressed with his handling of the economic crisis, it’s very clear that he hasn’t lost his touch with much of the populous that elected him.
Obama lives and breathes public affirmation—it’s his inspiration—the wind beneath his wings. His time “among the people” fills him up and gives him the emotional reserves he needs to confront the immense challenges of the presidency.
Obama and his staff know that Obama is at his best in front of a group of people. He wants to hear folks, touch folks and address them directly. He then wants to take those experiences back to Washington D.C. and the White House and influence his policy. He doesn’t want to lose touch. He wants to stay connected to everyday people.
And when it comes to people, Obama is clearly a people magnet. He inspires his followers and disarms his enemies.It’s been said that the White House can be a very lonely and isolated place—but apparently it doesn’t have to be.…
Can I get an Amen?
