Obama cannot lead

Barack Obama, the cool Harvard Law Grad and former community agitator-- oh, I mean organizer, simply does not know how to lead. It's pretty difficult to turn somebody who is not a leader, into one. Of course, we know that the President of the United States HAS to be a leader. Case in point, whenever there is a difficult situation Obama has to handle, he blames others for the problem, instead of figuring out a way to lead his country out of the mess. His blaming of President Bush is becoming very tiresome. This is true with the BP oil spill (the well was approved by Obama's admin no less than 10 days before the spill) where Obama blamed the Bush Admins lack of regulations. But I do have to ask, if Bush had lax regulations, don't you think over the past year and a half Obama would have addressed this? Anyway, that is just a tired old talking point.

I was reading an article in the LA Times, one of the most liberal papers in the country. The article talked about Obama blaming Bush for bad regulations that may have caused the spill. When reading the reader comments at the end of the article, no less than 65 of the 67 comments were about how Obama cannot take responsibility, and cannot blame somebody else for a problems that the country elected him President to solve. So if 65 of 67 comments are anti-Obama in the LAT, what does that tell you? Maybe nothing, but it does show that people are getting sick and tired of Obama's act.
