During this campaign, who did the media seek when they wanted to know the position of the Democratic Party. Was it Obama? No. It was Nancy Pelosi and to a lesser degree, Harry Reid.
People talk about Obama’s leadership, but he’s never demonstrated any. He’s been shepherded from one position to another. It was William Ayers who launched Obama’s political career after Ayers gave him is only executive position to date.
In the senate, he had a reputation as someone who would sign on to a bill and then claim credit for it.
Obama simply is not a leader. He’s a motivational speaker with ideas. Unfortunately, those ideas aren’t even his own. Whenever he tried to show some initiative and come up with his own position during the campaign, he quickly had to reverse that position and took up the position of his party.
Obama may be able to motivate, but he is weak because of his lack of experience and his willingness to toe the line for Democrats. What makes this the number one reason to fear him is that the rest of the world will see this too. Appeasers are easily manipulated and often used. Obama will be both. I’ll bet Putin is salivating because he knows without any doubt that the most Obama will ever do is scrape his bony fingers at him.
