Maureen Dowd's column on Aug. 20, 2014 is avail on line. Its entitled "Alone Again, Naturally" In sum, she is arguing that Obama is leaving his allies alone.
From Dowd:
"The extraordinary candidate turns out to be the most ordinary of men, frittering away precious time on the links. Unlike L.B.J., who devoured problems as though he were being chased by demons, Obama’s main galvanizing impulse was to get himself elected.
Almost everything else — from an all-out push on gun control after the Newtown massacre to going to see firsthand the Hispanic children thronging at the border to using his special status to defuse racial tensions in Ferguson — just seems like too much trouble."

More troubling is that he is even getting criticized in the news section, page 1 above the fold on Aug. 18, 2014, entitled, "Obama Is Seen as Frustrating His Own Party"
