Why has President Obama fallen short after his first year in office? According to Brazilian newspaper Estadao, it all comes down to a failure to communicate.
Estadao’s editorial on the president’s first year in office says in part:

Out of this emerge the negative assessments about his first year in power, leaving many Americans blind to the extraordinary progress that his government represents in comparison with his predecessor.
