If he's following Bush's lead as you say then the issue is indeed leadership, isn't it. My take on Obama is that he's sort of floundering. Initially he thought he was invincible, he was billed as "all that" so much that he began to believe he was "all that". And nobody is all that, we're all just people, aren't we. So he had a long way to fall... Reality has begun to set in on him. He's had several rude shocks from the polling, he's being torn at from the far left as well as from the right AND his foreign friends, but his biggest problem is that he hasn't the experience (or the intelligence in my opinion) to deal with it all. He's no leader as you suggested, and he's been forced to cut off all ties with those who he used to go to for advice (Wright, etc). So now he's surrounded by a thousand voices which are just confusing him. quote:
ORIGINAL: DarkSteven Funny you should say that. My own take is that he is continuing the disastrous Bush policies on the wars and on the bailouts. You on the other hand seem to feel that he is pioneering new radical policies, which I take it to mean the healthcare and global warming stuff. Also, note that you tend to call it leadership when it's someone whose policies you evidently agree with (GWB) yet deride Obama for the exact same things when you disagree with his policies. I actually think that the healthcare issue is being handled wonderfully, albeit not intentionally. I doubt that any kind of bill will get passed, but it is being raised as an issue. With luck, attention will start focusing on WHY the costs are rising so quickly, which is what should have been done initially. Global warming - I still don't understand it, which I suspect makes me identical to all the players on the issue...
