I want to give the administration a chance but they sure have botched several opportunities and given their opponents room for criticism.  No one and no group is going to do anything perfectly but here is a short list of the things I think they should have handled more professionally:

• American Recovery and Reinvestment Act -
  Letting Nancy Pelosi’s House craft its own version of the bill without oversight from Larry Summers and/or Tim Geithner was a mistake.  The President had to catch some egg on his face when the inflammatory version came out and then he had to manage the uproar by making Pelosi drop some of the more egregious items in the bill.
