Reply #52: The issue is that he didn't fight [View All]

......from day one in office. That's what he seems to not get. He appeared completely unprepared for how vicious the republicans would be though there's no excuse for not knowing that. He was absent during the entire first month of the health reform roll out--a power vacuum that allowed the tea baggers to take over the narrative and he's been on the defensive ever since. All avoidable if he had lead the democrats to stand firm, force filibusters and fight for the mandate he was given

The issue is not his ability to intelligently articulate policy --it's his appearance of cowardice and appeasement.
