For people who insist that Obama has a "lack of leadership," I have to wonder what exactly they think "leadership" looks like.
He gives a speech about what we should do....that's not leadership.
He tries to get congress to pass the kind of laws he promised to pass, and for the most part, they block the laws in order to frustrate him. That's been their plan the entire time: stop everything he said he wanted while campaigning.
Then he says something about maybe using an executive order. Oh, that's unconstitutional and dictator-like.
He takes a risk like sending S6 into Pakistan for Obama, and within minutes of the headline breaking: oh, he only did that for political purposes.
So ... what is "leadership" here? Is it nothing more than agreeing with the general conservative position on an issue?
At this point, I really don't like a lot of what the guy has done but....come on. He doesn't "lead"?
