Exactly. The ones who try, are terrible leaders of the economy.

Default Can We All Agree That Barack Obama Is Not a Leader?

Yes, all of you Obamaphobes can agree that he's "not your leader."

He's certainly no G W Bush or Dick Cheney.

he is a good public speaker, that is about it.
He has done nothing for the American people so far. The war is still on, with no end in site. The main reason I believe he was elected was to stop the war, he hasn't.


I pray he doesn't get re-elected.

He is an experimental puppet. So referring to him as a "leader" is an oxymoron.

So far, i'm not seeing but one person on this thread (A_Lexus) who has steadfastly stood by this President as true leader. I get the impression that even the Obama supporters are of the same opinion that I have.....that Barack Obama does not fit the description of a "leader."

So if I may ask.....Why do you blindly throw your support behind the President? It doesn't seem as if his lackluster leadership ability is anything to rally around. What makes you stand by him no matter what, considering that he hasn't reached deep enough into your psyche to "follow" him? Is it that his policies are so satisfactory that you'd agree with them no matter who pushes them forward?

We can all agree that the Repubs cannot stand seeing a leader in the WH. It was so much easier to manipulate the former occupant. And, as for people not responding, I suspect most feel it is pointless to do so, to somebody passing gas.

Tell us why you think he fits the definition of a true leader. Compare his ability to another well-known leader to make your case.

I have to strongly disagree. One of his first actions was to kick dirt in the repubs faces, "We won, get used to it", is the first that comes to mind. He has said and done many things that show he is just the opposite.
