His biggest problem is that he is letting the G.O.P. and the crazies define him. This is a communication skill, and I personally think heads need to roll among some in his inner circle. He needs someone like James Carville to be a fast response-pit-bull on a lot of this, and he should send Axelrod back to Chicago for a long rest before the 2012 campaign.

Right now the biggest thing that keeps him from being a one term president imho is that there is no one in the GOP who can beat him.
