Her assessment of what she thinks has weakened his presidency (one of two things) is interesting:
"When people talk about 2012 they don’t say the president won because the American people endorsed his wonderful leadership, they say he won because his team out computerized the laggard Republicans. This has left him and his people looking more like cold technocrats who know how to campaign than leaders who know how to govern. And it has diminished claims of a popular mandate. The president’s position would be stronger now if more people believed he had one."
