What would President Obama say in such an interview? How would he answer a question like: “What would you say you do here?” This is not an entirely rhetorical question. Obviously being president is an incredibly grueling job that no well-adjusted individual would ever apply for, but looking back on some of the Obama administration’s most noteworthy accomplishments and scandals, what role, if any, did Obama play? And what does it say about his leadership?
In his new memoir, Obama’s former defense secretary and CIA director Leon Panetta describes the president’s “most conspicuous weakness” as “a frustrating reticence to engage his opponents and rally support for his cause,” and his tendency to invoke “the logic of a law professor rather than the passion of a leader.” As result, Obama “avoids the battle, complains, and misses opportunities.”
Does any of this sound particularly surprising or out of character? Or is it, in fact, perfectly in keeping with the assessment of Obama’s critics, including those in his own party. It’s almost as if a notoriously aloof Obama has been repeatedly overwhelmed by a job for which he lacked any relevant qualifications.
When it comes to the signature accomplishments of Obama’s first term—the stimulus package and Obamacare—by all accounts the president took a “hand-off approach” to both, outlining a few vague principles before entrusting Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to work out the details. The same goes for the stalled immigration reform bill, which was meant to be one of the signature accomplishments of Obama’s second term.

They don’t feel so good now. ...Chances are they will elect Hillary as another symbol to make them feel better.

Perfectly said. That’s what we’re up against. We might survive Obama but we won’t survive the types who elected him.
“And yet, was he actually a law professor - or maybe only a mere lecturer?”
My question, too.
it seems to me that Zero is treating the Presidency in a similar way to how he conducted his college career - show up when he feels like it and expect a passing grade under color of privilege (AA policy)
They misspelled "Despicable."
Odumbo has done nothing to “lead” this country other than towards it destruction. He has no personal “vision” towards success and does what his handlers tell him to do. He has surrounded himself with communists and worse, numerous muslims who hate this country for our religious beliefs. Being a leader takes courage, foresight and will, all of which are seriously lacking in odumbo.
A guest lecturer at that.
