Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen argues that Barack Obama cannot teach during the Gates incident or on health reform and Afghanistan. He criticizes Obama’s cool tone, calls the health bill process bogged down, and compares the presidency to Carter while urging a clearer message and stronger salesmanship.
