Sinking in the polls, it is time to consider where Obama has gone wrong. In this column, I review Obama’s 5 Biggest Political Miscalculations. Next week I shall cover his Biggest Policy Mistakes. So, from Bad to Worse, lets begin . . . .

5. What’s a Few Czars Between Friends? Actually, when it comes to Congress the answer can be a lot. Yes it is true, as Glenn Beck has described, Obama’s Czars are a rather savory bunch for which Van Jones was just the tip of the iceberg. The Political Miscalculation here, however, is not his Far Left bureaucrats. The issue here is that he is broadening the powers of the Executive Branch. Such Imperial Presidential power grabs (no the Media won’t use those terms) does not play well even for Democrats in Congress who rightly view such actions as an encroachment on Congressional power. Touching off a civil war among your own, even if a minor war, is the type of unforced miscalculation that slows a President’s progress on key legislation.
