[mukto-mona] Is Obama failing?

Is President Obama failing? This question is being asked by many of his supporters who enthusiastically endorsed him as the first black president of the United States. He is being considered as weak and at times vacillating. The American public and the world never experienced nor ever conceived a colored president in the White House. This is a new experience with a little reserved excitement. President Obama must recognize this to put himself in the picture. The Americans are accustomed to see their country in al lead position when America roars the world listens. This is not happening anymore and some of  his domestic and foreign policies are bordering to appeasement. The office of US president is traditionally considered as a citadel power for the entire world. This historical perception is vanishing gradually which many Americans are not ready to accept. A too visible president who dashed to Oslo for an unsuccessful pleading for the Olympics is too radical. Americans does not want a common mans president. President Obama despite being very intelligent has failed to grasp this reality which is making many of his supporters utterly disappointed. His repeated pleading with the Muslim world for understanding is making many people nervous due his family links with Islam. Now the administration has decided that the 9/11 terror suspects would be tried in New York as common criminals which has touched the nerves of the Americans. They want a military trial for these hated people and definitely not on the soil of New York where the carnage happened. I would say this will be a blunder if that really happens. The right wing lobby is trying hard to discredit this president and this will give them a powerful chance to convince the Americans that Obama is not reading their mind.
