Question: (CNN) -- The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza recently gave President Barack Obama his "Worst Year in Washington" award. Indeed, Cillizza wrote that there was a growing sense among the public that "Obama simply isn't up to the job to which he was elected twice." But while it's hard to argue that Obama has not had a difficult 12 months, the notion that this President is somehow done or a lame duck just doesn't feel quite right. The fact is the office of the president is still the most dynamic change agent in our political system. And unlike Congress or the Supreme Court, which go in and out of session, the President is on 24/7, with significant power at his disposal, a point underscored by recent initiatives on immigration, climate change and Cuba.Aaron David Miller: President Obama is not the appeaser in chief his detractors claimMiller: President doubled down in Afghanistan in 2009, had Osama bin Laden killedObama is a committed internationalist, Miller saysPresident can feel the pull of wanting to leave a positive legacy, he says

Question: (CNN) A pastor with a long history of inflammatory remarks about Muslims, Mormons, Catholics and gays preached at a private service for President-elect Trump and his family on Friday, shortly before Trump took the oath of office. The pastor, the Rev. Robert Jeffress, is a Southern Baptist who vigorously campaigned for Trump during the final months of the presidential election and is a member of his evangelical advisory board. "I love this guy!" Trump has said of Jeffress. Before the campaign, Trump, a Presbyterian, had no apparent connection to the pastor, who leads First Baptist Church in Dallas. Friday morning's worship service, held at St. John's Episcopal Church across the street from the White House, continued a modern Inauguration Day ritual. With the exception of Richard Nixon in 1973, every president since Franklin Roosevelt has attended spiritual services on Inauguration Day, many at St. John's.
