I agree. I support Obama very strongly and believe that he is exactly what this country needs. He isn't the ultimate Washington insider but he has the support of many who are.

I also want to see him get stronger on those issues that will build a more solid America in the future (healthcare, education) He needs to stand his ground and stand firm. He needs to put ALL of the wacko anti-healthcare people in their place and mute their pointless (and selfish) voices.

Its time for us to see the true fighter in Obama. Its time for him to go all in with his plans for America. And I think he will.

So Obama shouldnt listen to what the American people want , He should tell all the wacko American citizens where to stick it?

Thought Obama was there to work for us? Guess in your world its not in your world that president does whatever he wants and ignores the citizens and yes before you bring up Bush democrats complained when Bush did that and now you want Obama to do that . What does that make someone?

He is not a leader, not by any stretch of the imagination.

I, too, think he should be more assertive, but I think it's too early to judge him yet. It may turn out that he knows exactly what he's doing - and is doing it well.

Leadership?

What leadership? So far as many have called it before hand he is no leader.

His admin is totally confused, none of them are on the same page, they all talk in circles around each other, one will say one thing and the other something totally different.

A real leader has his people on the same page, Obama, well none of them know what the other is doing on a daily basis.

His admin is in total chaos right now because his lack of leadership abilities.

He works for us or did you already know that?

Fighter? ALL of his plans when the majority of Americans do not agree you believe it is ok for him to force them on us?

Healthcare can be earned by getting a job or two!!
Again the majority of us do not want government in our healtcare.

Education? Its called get the bad parents to help teach their kids. Most of them do not even know what the teachers name is let along what the kids are doing in school.

Solution - force Parents to help their kids and get involved at school and with their kids.

The education is their for the taking.

Put us in place, NO, we need to put HIM in his place afterall he works for us.

Gosh are you for real?

What country or planet are you from?

Honestly, I'm not seeing an ounce of leadership at all coming from Obama. This is not a partisan statement. This is a statement of observation. I've don't recall a single moment where Obama stepped up to the plate and actually led the nation. So far, this President has continued his pattern of making speeches, but has virtually handed over the reigns to Pelosi and Reid to actually do the leading.
