20. Obama's biggest weakness is that he doesn't want to walk away from the deal.
You know how they always say that to get the best deal from the car dealer, you have to be able to say no and walk away? Obama never wants to walk away. He'd rather get less than what he wanted and still (in his opinion) move forward. Most of us want him to walk away and get nothing.

Ironically, this is what the republicans usually want. They DON'T want the government to act. Take health care for example. The republicans were fighting against the bill. They weren't fighting for their version of reform. They wanted nothing. If Obama sticks to his guns and walks away, then the republicans actually get what they wanted all along.
