Obama's Blind Spot
by Ron Powell
No one has been a more ardent supporter of President Obama than I. However, I do believe that he has developed a blind spot when it comes to the 'average' or 'regular person'. There are no "middle class" people appointed to serve on The Task Force on the Middle Class, or anywhere else in his administration. All of his Cabinet appointments have been either Ivy Leaguers, Clinton left-overs, or ex-Wall Street insiders. I believe that he has left himself open to criticism and charges of being elitist. I would like to think that the candidate who ran on "Change we can believe in", would seek to avoid old style patronage and cronyism which can cause tunnel vision and thus create the blind spot of which I speak. The danger in having a blind spot is that you can get blind-sided as a consequence.

He is supposed to know what he's doing.
