The real question is what was in his resume that made 2008 voters think he'd be one? Seriously, the White House should not be the first leadership/managerial job you have. Don't make the same mistake with some Republican candidates in 2012. They all have big ideas but what's in their resume that proves they have leadership/managerial ability? The White House should not be the place for on-the-job training.
Pick a governor, a businessman or the head of some non-profit.

So let's take your football analogy. Do you think Obama's
leadership skills are winning anything for America?
I think the "sport mentality" - who looks like a winner, got to be on that winning team;
it is exactly the reason we have ended up with our recent Presidential "leaders".
I use that term "leader" very loosely, when describing them
Using a football analogy Obama is the type of QB who hands the ball of quickly so as not to be tackled. He has the flashy personality that attracks the sponsorships (oligarchy) without really doing anything. Or, when he does choose to take the ball he runs it himself for the glory disregarding the coach(US Constitution) and the entirety of the team(Congress) because he doesn't need their approval (see Libya).
The more I think about the last two plus years, the more I struggle to find a domestic or international situation in which President Obama has stood out as a "true leader." This is not to say that the President has not made any difficult decisions. As President of the United States, difficult decisions are certainly part of the job. But there's a distinct difference between doing your job, and actually having the leadership qualities that emanate and resonate with the people you are leading.
Throughout humanity, there have been many natural-born leaders, as well as people who have grown to become effective leaders. With the Presidency, the learning curve is mighty steep for sure, but after more than two years in office, is it safe to concur that Barack Obama is niether a natural-born leader nor a person who has grown into the true definition of a leader?
To me, President Obama is a failed experiment. I'd be more than happy to give him credit if there were elements of his Presidency that convinced me that a true leader was at the helm. I personally have not seen anything that would give me that impression.
What say you?
I should known better then to stop by this thread. Failed experiment? Give us some credit. We are not that stupid.
The Republicans and Tea Party folks (if the Tea Party even exists anymore) can not stand the fact that President Obama will win the election in 2012. And one of the main reasons that he will win is because they offer zero solutions to any of their criticisms of the president.

This statement, along with the inference that you voted for Obama, demonstrates a lack of political astuteness.
