As the current election season begins to take shape, Obama and his political team are laying the groundwork for the next campaign.  Not the midterms, but his 2012 re-election.

Given that increasing numbers of Americans don’t seem as fond of “hope and change” as they did two years ago, they’re crafting a new strategy.  Change is out.  Reform is in.

When Obama was running for President he was a blank slate.  Potential supporters were able to see in him what they wished.  But over the past year and half the public has received a pretty stark education in what “hope and change” really meant; hence Obama’s need for a new strategy.
