I SPECIFICALLY said that the Republicans HATED Clinton and even impeached him. But somehow he was able to get them to do his bidding and was able to LEAD our country to a period of growth, peace, and prosperity.

The economy did collapse around Sept/Oct. of 2008. But for his entire term...Bush had a roaring economy, and was able to keep it going by LEADING, even after the 9-11 nightmare.

Obama is not showing any leadership. Period.

But let's get specific:
WHY did he go into closed door negotiations with the big pharmacy companies immediately and insure that they would not have to drop their prices down to the levels that the rest of the world pays? Again...BEHIND CLOSED DOORS (after promising 100% transparency during the campaign)

Why did he sit there giving speeches and going on vacation while he handed the job of "health care" to the Congress and didn't do ANYTHING for "job creation" during the first 2 years when he had historically high approval ratings and control of both Houses?

He is not a leader. You're making excuses. Again, as Bill Maher says on his show: "He's your president, NOT your boyfriend"

See him for what he is...a guy who campaigned really good and then just wasn't the right guy for the job.
Quite frankly I wish a Democrat would challenge him for the nomination...but that ain't gonna happen.

The next president will be the Republican nominee. And the only one to blame for that is Obama himself.

If he had shown the leadership of Clinton or Reagan he could have really done something. But he talked a great game and then when he got into office he did a lot of nothing. And the things he did do were pretty much just like the mistakes that Bush made...only without the leadership qualities that Bush had.

I guess you will believe it when the election happens in 2012.
Not that it matters in the really big picture because they are all the same anyway. But having a guy with leadership qualities always makes the country settle down. And right now the business community is very skittish. They are looking for a new president.

And so am I and a lot of other people like me who did vote for Obama in 2008 and feel betrayed.
