ARTICLE: As the Nation's Pulse Races, Obama Can't Seem to Find His, By MAUREEN DOWD, New York Times, December 29, 2009

A truly sharp and apt piece by Maureen Dowd.

Especially liked the criticism of Obama's too-cool response (the man has to learn that the office represents more than just a policy response in times of perceived crisis) and the movie reference to "Total Recall" (you know the scene).
