How does one lead when no one's on your side?

Gallup: Obama job rating sinks below 40% for first time - latimes.com

Saul (Alinsky) said a leader is anyone with a following. Prescient, eh? President Obama has a definite enemy. The GOP. But his most debilitating enemy is his lackluster party known as the Democrats. They have supported him the way Iago supported Othello or Edmund supported Lear. So those of us who do support him are a pretty tawdry bunch. My advice to the President is to locate as many leaders as he can and meet with them. Forget all the Town Hall stuff. Show that you have gravitas with leaders of all sorts and conditions. Make a habit of getting headlines like Obama meets with business leaders, trade leaders, Nascar leaders, rights leaders and so forth and so on.
