1. Rarely been challenged?

I think the writer blew it. Simply by asserting that Obama has never been challenged straight out of the gate, she makes me not want to hear a word she's wanting to say.

Obama has been challenged continuously since he's been in office--by the tea party nuts, the birthers, and the John "I hate Susan Rice" McCains on the Hill.

And they have not been polite about it at all.

This woman may have points to make, but starting out with that load of bullshit hyperbole ain't the way to drive 'em home.
