Der Spiegel noted how it took Barack Obama three days to comment on Standard & Poor's decision to downgrade the USA's credit rating.
That's because he had to consult his pollsters to determine which way the political winds were blowing and then have his speechwriters craft a speech for him to read via teleprompters.
Obama manages his presidency like advertising firms manage promotions for hemorrhoid cream. Cute slogans might get one elected, but the presidency demands results.
Even Jesse Jackson commented on Obama's lack of cojones. Princeton professor Cornel West called President Obama a "mascot of Wall Street," but Jackson would not go that far, only admitting that the "laws are stacked for the wealthy."
Reuters reported that Obama is still whining that he inherited a poor economy from Bush the Younger.
Winston Churchill became Prime Minister of Great Britain on May 10, 1940, exactly two months before the Battle of Britain started. He never wimpered that he inherited a bad situation, even though his predecessor, Neville Chamberlain, was a pathetic namby-pamby.
"In some ways it may be even a more profound debate because the contrast is going to be clear and it's going to be sharp," Obama promised his faithful at a fundraiser where families paid $15,000 to have a picture taken with him.
Bush the Younger was a contemptible president who got us involved in two enormous and unfunded wars and created the TARP bailouts. But Obama not only continued Bush's two wars, he started a new one in Libya. Obama not only continued the bailouts, he took them to levels never before seen on Earth. And Obama hired FOBs (friends of banksters) -- Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, et al -- to manage the economy and now has even urged Geithner to stay as Treasury chief.
There is hardly any difference between Obama and Bush on the issues that matter.
Great leaders rise to meet a challenge; poor ones make excuses.
