Government by Lynch Mob -- Obama Should Ignore Critics and Just Lead

President Obama seems to be running from policies rather than leading policies. Instead of acting like a President who won office with a huge mandate for "change," he is acting like he is months away from a re-election and fears offending the public.

Politicians in one of the nation's toughest political rings, Chicago, long recognized that once you are in office, you make the toughest, hardest and dirtiest decisions reflecting what you feel needs to be done. It's only in the final stretch before a re-election that you start running government by public opinion polls, adjusting your decisions to reflect greater public consensus.

On issue after issue, Obama is acting like he is soon to run for re-election, instead of being a president with a massive mandate still only months into his administration............

Maybe the President's liberal supporters should stop being kindler and gentler reflecting their better-than-the-Neocons attitude. Do what they did to us. Fight back and fight back at every turn. When they push on Van Jones, push back on their Iraq war crimes. When they say you have failed to lead, point out that this current Israeli-Palestinian crisies is the result of former President Bush's failure to lead in the Middle East. When they point to Sept. 11, 2001, point to the fact that it took place under Bush's watch and his response was not to go after the terrorists but to instead go after Saddam Hussein in Iraq to avenge his father's honor......................
