Advice to Obama: "Change your Personality!"

In Jennifer Rubin's post on March 12th, entitled "Trying to Reinvent Obama," she speaks on Dee Dee Myer's advice directed to Obama: "change your personality." Myer's argument is that President Obama's "calm," "cool," and "self-possessed," attitude is resulting in a feeling among American citizens that he is "detached," "snippy," and "attacking his opponents." In other words, he makes us feel as if we mere citizens are not on his superior level. As the White House Press Secretary for the Clinton Administration from Januray 1993 to December 1994, Myers' opinion is credible when it comes to public relations, particularly the President's relationship with his citizens. Her claim that Obama is not relating well with the people of America by pushing unwelcome ideas (i.e. health care reformation) is logical and probably true, and I agree with her on a personal level, but it is not backed up by factual information. In this argument, neither Myers nor Rubin present any evidence that American citizens feel that Obama is "lacking warmth and empathy." I guess we'll have to wait and see what evidence the polls provide in 2012, assuming Obama still likes us enough to want to run again.
