"Quality Go"

My obligatory political comment (I've refrained so far) is as follows:

It's clear that Barack Obama ran an effective campaign. How different from campaigning is actually being the President? The skills are similar, but not the same. Now that he has the job, can he stop pandering (a necessary task when campaigning - no criticism intended) and start managing? He might act as if he were getting an early start on the 2012 campaign. It would be easy for him to continue to play this part. He surely has the selling skills - now let's see an effective executive. My guess is that he'll drop his poetry and get to business. We'll give him time - at least four years - not to simply stir emotions, but to get to work and do a terrific job. I think he'll have a quality go at it.
