(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

There are so many bikes it looks like -- hard though this may be to imagine -- the Tour de France for normal riders. In reality, it's a nightmare, or at least it is until you grasp the rules of the road -- and then it's a blast. Within seven minutes of taking possession of my Dutch rental bike, a motor scooter nearly rams me into a canal. By the time my first hour is up, I've been verbally abused for halting abruptly in a cycle lane, and been loudly tooted at by a tram after getting my tires stuck in its tracks.Amsterdam is pancake flat and crisscrossed with 4,000 kilometers of bike pathsLocal cyclists are said to get frustrated with tourists who dawdle or stop in the center of cycle pathsBike theft is a problem with an estimated 55,000 cycles going missing every year
