And Reagan's years in Hollywood prepared him for high office? Right. Obama is doing the job of POTUS about as well as it has ever been done before. He has excellent natural gifts for the job. In a different U.S.A. he could really do some good. In the present climate of partisanship, not so much. A pity. A HUGE pity. A real waste of a good man.
Liberals: Can you be objective and concede at the very least Obama is not a good leader?
Conservatives: We shouldn't gloat about Obama being a failure this is not a game. Our country's future is too important for these petty squabbles. Obama maybe a failure but let's maintain our respect for the office and muster some for the man himself.
Yes, I uh ..... want to make it resoundingly uh .... clear, that Obama uh .... is a weak and feckless uh..... leader ..... and that uh ..... he uh..... should be impeached.
Obama isn't really a weak leader--he is simply an extremely cautious leader. Frankly, some additional cautiousness is a good thing, since we remember what happened when there was much less cautiousness in the White House during the George W. Bush Presidency.
Flexibility is a sign of strength, not weakness.
There are about 220 +/- million adults in the U.S. and most believe at one time or another - all the time, that they know how to run the country better than whomever is sitting the oval at the moment.

Why don't armchair leaders run for office?
One can be both cautious and flexible at the same time.
As for me running for U.S. President, this is impossible without a change in the U.S. Constitution, since I am a second-class U.S. citizen (in other words, I am not a natural-born U.S. citizen).
You do not believe Obama is a weak leader, most of the nation does. It is just your opinion. Though there is plenty of evidence to easily take your opinion down.
starting with Obama's lack of any leadership or management accomplishments in his life prior to his election.
When did "most of the nation " realize this? 8 months ago people "most of the nation" who care reelected him.
I don't think it is quite accurate to call him a weak leader. He got ObamaCare rammed through in spite of its unpopularity. Whether you like or not (I don't), getting it signed into law was an impressive feat. He got himself re-elected in spite of the dismal economy. He skated thru the IRS and BATF scandals with no real damage due to deft marionette skills.
If he doesn't like a law, he just orders his agencies to ignore it--and he gets away with this, time after time. Here's a good piece by liberal law prof Jon Turley who says that Obama is the imperial prez that Nixon aspired to be. Nixon has won Watergate: Column
None of these things are necessarily good, but I don't think you can call him a 'weak leader.'
Yes, I would ask them to make their mind up with their whinning...dictator or weak leader. Have we ever seen such a bunch of whinners...no solutions just blocking and whining.
