ORIGINAL: MrRodgers Well beside the point of how anyone could objectivity judge this president given the 8 proceeding years of arrogant, very expensive buffoonery with a man from Texas that was all hat...no cattle, just how does one judge ? How does one judge a president that has had nothing but repub intransigence in congress ? So just as it is on wall street, it doesn't matter the fundamentals, all that matters is what the market says. The market for Obama is up, the unfavorable...is down. You can't use GW as any kind of measuring tool for what Obama has done (or not). That's ridiculous. Judge a man based on what he does. Not what others do around him. I'm not judging him on his successes and failures. I'm judging him on his ability to lead. And frankly, I'm not impressed. He gets the credit for the things that get accomplished and I can accept that. He's the President after all. But how many of those things come from ideas that are originally his own? From what I've seen, few, if any. He makes wonderful, moving speeches that do well to define issues but in the end, say little about how he intends to lead. And when the country was losing it's mind over the Martin/Zimmerman case in Florida and the Black Panthers were putting out their bounty on Zimmerman, did he stand up and make an appeal to everyone for calm? No. He started out with, "If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon". For me, that really showcased a lack of leadership (and taste). And just to be clear, I was never that impressed with "The Decider" either.
