The other night, a friend and I did what just about every Democrat and progressive has been doing since Nov. 2: We debated what President Obama could -- must -- do to pull his presidency out of its downward spiral. The shock-and-awe of his campaign has given way to the awe-hell of his governing. The White House's failure to effectively champion its accomplishments, articulate a strategy (expiring Bush tax cuts) or aggressively exploit opportunities (failure to extend unemployment benefits) has everyone wondering if the administration can get its act together.
Focusing on Obama's personnel, we agreed that the president needed to widen his circle of confidants beyond his Chicago security blanket. "He needs a governor," my friend said. My perfect candidates: Ed Rendell (D-Pa.) and Jennifer Granholm (D-Mich.).

Reminds me of the joke someone posted earlier about Joe Biden’s birthday party...Obama was too busy to attend so he send Biden in his place.
He already has a “governor”, his name is Soros.
Morons
um ... President Bush, who you all claimed was stupid, seemed to handle it by himself.
Now that Obama is president, and doing a terrible job, maybe some hand-picked consiglieri can step in and impose their will on the recalcitrant population. Let Obama golf -- he's earned it! The people will readily accept their new overlord, just as soon as a name is decided upon behind closed doors.
Come on, everyone knows Chenney was pulling all the strings.
Nope, we don't like the Anti-American Lying Commie Muzzie Scum sleeping at 1600 Penn. Ave.
A Czar for the other Czars, or maybe a Regent for the boy-King, or a Prime Minister, or just a random adult from the phone book, can’t be any worse.
And now, finally, they admit that executive experience is needed to be President.
Actually Rendell is a pretty savvy politician. Former Mayor of Phil., former DNC Chairman and 2 term Gove. I don’t agree with him on much if anything, but he could sure teach Obama a lot about politics. Granholm is a flake.
about the only thing that could get Barry sliding down the chute to oblivion any faster would be to name Jenny Granholm as his co-president
This is a real admission for the WaPo: the Obozo has no management or executive experience, and has failed the “on the job” training course.
It’s a good idea. Obama is nothing more than a boy prince. He needs a regent. And Joe Biden adds nothing. Rendell might have some sense of reality.
They might want to bring in the former Governor of Alaska in a couple of years. I think she could handle the job.
Are they seriously suggesting that someone experienced like a governor is needed to run the White House? Do they really not get it?
BINGO!

Is this the same Washington Post that openly campaigned for the inexperienced cool black guy who had less than 200 days in the US Senate? That whole lack of revelant experience thing is coming home to roost.
The madness of King ‘O’.
