The Paralyzed President

Many pundits have analyzed Obama's lack of emotional connection. His recent multiple appearances only underscore that he is in neutral while the rest of us are in high or low gear. He seems hamstrung. The word that is being bandied about is feckless. Unless he shows more juice, more intensity, more leadership he is going back to Chicago in 2012. I think the markets have tumbled in part because of European Debt Crisis, our debt ceiling muddle, and the stalled economy. But most of all there is a lack of confidence in the President. He let the tea party run right over him. The middle is not working. Maybe he should try to show some spine. In my mind, he'll be worse than Jimmy Carter if this continues.

  1. Do not know the meaning of "The word that is being bandied about is feckless.". Unless it means paralyzed Anyway, Obama will not show spine though I hope I'm wrong but how? So I'd start doing more than writing him off since he'll be comfortable back in Chi-town while we're wallowing in our own debt and worries if not outright ruined. It took bad decisions to have no confidence in him? Should have never elected him, nor any Republican. But I don't know how we're going to get through this calamity of our monetary and materistic calamity!
