The president acted like a school girl when he insulted the justices during his state of the union address. But he acted like most of the current politicians in DC and throughout the country. The actions of the congress people who were sitting nearby was just as pathetic. Is it any wonder that a lot of these people will be finding new work after November?
Obama’s lack of experience shines through more and more. But even more apparent is his lack of masculine instinct. He is a beta male. He’s the Al Gore that made it.
We cannot rely on his word. He relies on threats and payoffs to coax people into voting his agenda. He seems completely unable to forge alliances in order to get done the job at hand. He governs in much the way I pictured Hillary Clinton would have governed, had she won the presidency. Except, I doubt Hillary would have been politically immature enough to insult the justices during a state of the union address. In fact, Hillary probably would have ran a more masculine administration then young Barry.
Don’t miss my point. There have been great women leaders, many of whom would have made good presidents, but they were successful because they knew how to interact with men when it was necessary. At the end of the day it is still a man’s world out there.
Obama has the tools to be a man he just hasn’t learned how to act like one…. and to lead like one.
One thing that he needs is a large dose of humility. A lack of humility is what causes just a kid (relatively speaking) to stand up in front of a group of people with the combined legal experience of the supreme court and lecture them on law.
He also needs a large dose of courage. Cowards tell lies. “We will close Gitmo in a year”, “We will televise the healthcare debate on C-span” are two big ones that come to mind. Of course the president railed against the Bush deficits during the campaign (rightly so) but has since tripled them during his first year in office. To Obama everyday is opposite day.
Obama is just a caricature of the typical emasculated politicians that inhabit the capital and state houses across the country. Is it any wonder that our nation is in the shape that it is in?
