Jake Tapper asks the WH mouthpiece if it's time for this President to "man up" and make the tough decisions rather than making no decisions at all so he can win at the ballot box:

And Sarah Palin asks the President to man up and get rid of an adviser who called some liberal Democrats "retarded"
I would ask the president to show decency in this process by eliminating one member of that inner circle, Mr. Rahm Emanuel, and not allow Rahm’s continued indecent tactics to cloud efforts. Yes, Rahm is known for his caustic, crude references about those with whom he disagrees, but his recent tirade against participants in a strategy session was such a strong slap in many American faces that our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm’s recent sick and offensive tactic.The Obama Administration’s Chief of Staff scolded participants, calling them, “F---ing retarded,” according to several participants, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.
Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the “N-word” or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking.
I believe myself that Emanuel should of been sacked long ago for many different reasons, many of which Bush and his advisers would of been vilified for. But not this President, and not his keepers.
One thing that is bringing a smile to my face tho is the fact that the hardcore leftists are making life difficult for his administration.

If anyone is going to be firing anyone else, it’ll be Rahm Emanuel firing Barack Obama.
Isn’t Emanuel planning on leaving an going back to Chicago to run for something?
Don’t know if this is her attempt to beat the libs at their own game....but I for one, do not like the “speech police” telling me what is inappropriate language.
Just for the record, this should be "should have" or "should've" and "would have" or "would've".
Writing such ignorant phrases detracts from the point, which is an excellent one: the double standard employed by the MSM and to a large part, the general public, is always, always, always, in favor of the left.
The Tea's will make toast of him too, ala Koooookkkly. Voted today in Chicago and looking forward to the results this evening. T P Rules!
Obama’s response, “P...P...Present...I think!”
I don’t see anything wrong with the word “retarded”. Let’s not buy into the PC business of having our words taken away from us because someone somewhere decides they are “offended”. When I was a kid (long long ago!) that was what we called people who were “retarded”. Their mental progress was retarded from the point at which it was supposed to be.
It is more offensive to throw the F-bomb around - publicly or privately..............
One can call Obama a lot of things but a MAN and LEADER are not on the list.
