I think President Obama did a good thing, a smart thing today in reaching out to the business community because we've been talking about this alienation with the business community; reaching out and assuring them that he's a free market man, I think was smart today.
Gergen praises President Obama's outreach to the business community to alleviate concerns of alienation.

I think a lot of Americans are relieved to have a politician who's not in your face and not yelling at you and not lying to you.
He is obsessed with winning re-election. It's all about self-respect. It is whether he is going to be humiliated or not.
I think, basically, this is about power. I think he wants to cripple Joe Biden before he ever gets started.
I think it's very clear that the President can have great influence on the states. You know, he issued guidelines, CDC issued guidelines, blessed by the President, and they did have an effect, but they were not orders.
