McCain asks Obama to do what he has no capability of doing - employ leadership.

McCain's psychology is interesting. Barry fancies himself the greatest leader since Stalin (a little irony there), but deep down Barry is full of fear and knows he is weak. McCain is shaming him, basically saying in public that if John McCain was President he would lead.

Obama needs a way out now. If Sequestration is implemented he loses. The Republicans need a way out too, because if they let it happen they must accept blame for abandoning the military. It is DC politics at its worst right now.
