White House spokesman Jay Carney today argued that President Barack Obama is a better leader for not proposing a debt-ceiling plan that can be debated and voted on by elected legislators in the House of Representatives.
“Leadership is not proposing a plan for the sake of having it voted up or down, and likely voted down,” he told ABC News’ Jake Tapper, who has spent a week fruitlessly pressing Carney to detail the administration’s budget proposals.
Since the start of the debt-ceiling negotiations, the president has refused to develop a detailed plan that could be measured or criticized by voters, D.C. advocates and legislators.
Obama’s closed-door strategy stands in sharp contrast to the very transparent and formal course taken by Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee. He developed a detailed budget plan, and persuaded a sharply divided House to vote it up, not down.

Up is down.
Black is white.
Leadership is not leading.
Reminds me of a book I once read...
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Why lead, when it involves work and responsibility?
He can count on a fawning press, and he’ll just push to the front of which ever line appears to be the best.
Maybe it was this guy...
LOL how can he be a better leader when he is not anything remotely close to a leader.
Leading from behind!
“Big Deal”
So his vote against the debt ceiling in 2006 is now different in what way exactly?

Well, duh!
Geogre Dubya isn't President anymore!

War is Peace
Slavery is Freedom
Abdication is Leadership
It’s called “damning with faint praise”.
Leading from behind. Leading by following. Gee, write those words in stone because this bozo said it,...it must be correct. He has a planned destruction for the USA. If this bastard is not defeated in the election this republic is over.
FTW?
Cluelessness is leadership..........
Guess we’re all supposed to go into a hypnotic trance and just accept whatever b.s. they spew. In fact, that’s pretty much what the MSM has done ever since zero appeared on the scene.
Yo Carney-Idiot, let me spell it out for you in one word: “PRESENT!”
Read between those lines, Baghdad Bob wannabe. =.=
As a senator, Barack Obama said in 2006 that a bill to raise the debt limit was “a sign of leadership failure.”
leadership failure

Carney (the official administration barker) should review his conferences. I’ve never seen anyone of the past water carriers for the Democratic presidents look, act or speak as foolishly as Carney. The only one I’ve seen even come close to this clown was Bagdad Bob!
