Barry, I really don't understand what you are talking about. Much of what President Obama is being criticized for revolves around substantive issues - not style. And, it's hardly "nitpicking" as you suggest. A lot of troubling developments have occurred in the Obama Administration's First 100 Days.
Let's just take a look at his record on the issue of life. As I chronicled in an earlier post, President Obama is on the fast-track to becoming one of the most pro-abortion president's in recent memory. From the very start, he set a disappointing tone that's put this country on a path that will result in more abortions and less protection for the unborn.

Barry, rest assured there is a new and vibrant generation of conservative Christians that are already engaging what are called the "Culture Wars." I personally have never liked that phraseology. This is really a clash of world views. There is no doubt that Dr. James Dobson, Founder of Focus on the Family, has laid an important foundation. Dr. Dobson has been an ardent advocate for the family and a passionate defender of life. He has made significant contributions over the years and never wavered in his commitment to work to protect the family and the unborn -- serving as a powerful voice for millions of Americans.
The fact that Dr. Dobson wants to make room for new leadership should not be viewed as a sign of weakness. Rather, it is an indicator of the intensity of the engagement and a desire for a new generation to take the lead. You have experienced first hand the training that is ongoing at Regent University, founded by Dr. Pat Robertson. You know of the capacity of these students and their desire to impact the critical issues facing their generation, including abortion. Upon graduation, these students will have a significant impact on the clash of world views. I enjoyed having you in my class at Regent and the students did as well. And, it's also clear that we can respectfully disagree on key issues.
