Who said we don't have aristocratic titles in government.....we have Obama....the Duke of Delay, the Prince of Prudence, the Count of Caution.....the Baron of LeadFromBehind....
With all the turmoil and chaos in a world crying out for an American leader....we only have Obama....
1. ".... just when you thought he would announce a firm American response, he pulled back, saying things such as he didnt want to get ahead of the facts, and demanding an honest investigation.
2. To admit the truth would force him to do something. And we clearly have the wrong president for that kind of leadership, as events around the world illustrate.
From Ukraine to Iraq, from Syria to Asia and Latin America, ...the world is in chaos, and the president dithers, hesitates and then goes golfing.
3.The fact that he is not fully engaged in the job is now so obvious that some Democrats concede the point. Yet his detachment has been there all along, hiding in plain sight.
The tag of no drama Obama emerged during the 2008 campaign, when his staff marveled at how he kept his calm during political turbulence. From the Rev. Jeremiah Wright revelations to the meltdown of the economy, Obama made only brief detours before getting back on message.
4. His coolness seemed a virtue, especially compared to John *McCains combustibility. But nowadays, the coolness looks like indifference bordering on contempt.
How else to explain his decision to go to fund-raisers Thursday night, only hours after the horror in Ukraine?
5.... consider what Valerie Jarrett once said. The aide and longtime friend described the president to biographer David Remnick in terms that make the Oval Office sound beneath Obama.
I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were *extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is, Remnick quoted her as saying. He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is.
6. She goes on in that vein, adding: Hes been bored to death his whole life. Hes just too talented to do what ordinary people do.
Or even ordinary presidents, apparently.
7. In Federalist Paper No. 70, Alexander Hamilton argued for an American leader with vast powers, one driven by dual senses of *responsibility and accountability.
He called that quality Energy in the Executive and said it was a leading character in the definition of good government.
8. Such a leader, he wrote, is essential to the protection of the community against foreign attacks and other dangers, including the *enterprises and assaults of ambition, of faction and of anarchy.
9. Hamilton also acknowledged the risks if the unitary executive failed to carry out his duties. A feeble executive implies a feeble execution of the government. A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed, whatever it may be in theory, must be, in practice, a bad government.
10. Hmmm, a feeble executive running a bad government. Does that ring a bell?"
