...the observation of an LA Times writer that Obama is “that oddest of all creatures: a leader who’s never led.”
I wonder...Who was the last Democratic President with substance? Truman maybe.
Obama is still in the "God bless Mom and Apple pie" stage. It
is pleasantry and bromides for now. Sooner or later he will need to ante up.
A white granular powder?
Without using his full complete legal name, how can we tell?
It's hard to have substance when all you are is Turban Durbin's sock puppet.
Obama is so very liberal when the real campaigning gets going he'll sink like a rock.
Obama is the Dems "Anyone but Illary Candidate" and the beauty of it is that she KNOWS it too!
How is she and her war room gonna go out there and blast/destroy a BLACK when her Hubby was the 1st BLACK Prez???
He can't serve what he doesn't have.
About the title, isn't that the case for a lot of politicians, and especially Democrats? (rhetorical).
""...the observation of an LA Times writer that Obama is “that oddest of all creatures: a leader who’s never led.”"
I cannot think of a Senator who has led. That's why they are Senators and not Governors. Hillay led nothing. Obama led nothing. Biden, Dodd, Kennedy, Edwards.. Nada, zippo.
At least Richardson and Vilsak have led. These two might be the only ones that would have a shot with maybe a Senator on the ticket as a VP.
The only thing that Obama might have working for him is that he isn't a Washington insider so his idea for corruption at the local level probably wouldn't carryover to the Whitehouse. Everyone else is a POS.
On the contrary, Obama is now a documented liar:
From a review of Obama's new book, 'The Audacity of Hope':
Now and then, Obama’s centrist platitudes lead him into unsupported or even outright false assertions. Of the $9 trillion national debt he claims, “the bulk of the debt is a direct result of the President’s tax cuts,” when in fact the tax cuts have involved less than a tenth of that amount. Elsewhere, invoking allegedly declining federal funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), he launches into an argument about the Bush administration’s failure to support basic research essential to America’s global competitiveness. But the budget of the NIH has grown by more than $8 billion, or 40 percent, since Bush came into office, and this year the administration proposed to double federal funding for research in the physical sciences over the next decade.
Fox News today announced a statement issued by Obama Osama on the carrying out of Saddam's hanging. I said aloud "Who cares what he thinks?" What's wrong with Fox?
