Obama's Altitude Sickness

Charles Krauthammer's column in  today's The Washington Post is a fascinating look at the rise and fall of Barack Obama.  Obama is by no means out of the race, but there is an old expression, 'it's not where you are--it's the direction in which you are moving', at this moment it looks like Obama's momentum is moving in the wrong direction.  The only thing I would add to Charles Krauthammer's comments is that if the media builds you up, but you have no internal foundation, the building will not stand.  Obama may have been a successful community organizer, but if you look at the community he organized, it is in worse shape now than it was before he started.
