We will see if this is true. Obama has a very strong mandate from the electorate which puts him in a powerful position for now. We will have to see how things might change once the newness has worn off and Obama comes face to face with the business as usual crowd in Washington.

Here Obama has not even been inaugurated and the news is already telling us that his presidency is off to a bad start. (Come to think of it, they said the same thing about Bush because of the "cloud over his election.") That entire article looks amazingly similar to coverage of Clinton’s presidency as he took office.
