From the Philadelphia Daily News via The Field Negro:
IT WAS BASEBALL pioneer Satchel Paige who warned: “Don’t look back. Something may be gaining on you.”
In the wake of the midterm elections, that’s one bit of advice that President Obama would do well to follow. If his presidency is to survive, he must look forward and must begin to make changes now.
But exactly what should Obama do, and how and why? ...
Lose the strut …. The president has a way of pushing himself up on the balls of his feet as he walks. I call it “the strut,” and I suspect I’m not alone in finding it off-putting.
Hear that, you Democratic handlers? Better get busy! If you want my man to be re-elected in 2012, you had better start polishing up that Brand Obama now. First thing you want to do is help him lose that uppity strut, that confident “I’m the President of the United States” walk that seems to be annoying so many people. Maybe try dressing him in camo and getting him a guest appearance on that eight-part mini-series TLC is donating to the Palin for President campaign. Have him shoot a large Alaskan mammal—and be sure to script him, nothing over two syllables: something like, “Gummint will never take away my right to kill me this big-ass moose.” Whatever you do, don’t let him be photographed stooping over some rabbit turd of a tarball in Prince William Sound! You dig?
All right. Re-electalicious!
Gawd, have you seen his abs? People criticize him without seeing the big picture.

And people still say he doesn't have the stomach for the job!

The keepers of the brand might consider showing the President smoking more. Not crouching behind some bush in the Rose Garden but torching one end of an entire carton and inhaling the mess through the other. I'm not sure, but it feels a little less hopey-changey to me. When asked about it by the press corps he can say, "I decided to go nucular."

As the proverb says, a man isn't old until his regrets take the place of his dreams.
