Harry Reid: ” I think that he is on many occasions — I shouldn't say on many occasions, on a few occasions — I think he should have been more firm with those on the other side of the aisle,” said Reid. “He is a person who doesn't like confrontation. He's a peacemaker. And sometimes I think you have to be a little more forceful. And sometimes I don't think he is enough with the Republicans....He's a very strong man. He's calm, he's cool, he's deliberate,” Reid responded. “But as I just said, I think sometimes he, I would like him to be more confrontational. He isn't, that's who he is. My saying this isn't gonna make him that way. I know who he is, and I understand him.”

I just posted a similar point on another thread : They want to present Obama as : highly educated, smart, calm, wise, deep thinking, fair, above politics, all knowing, reflective...And this is just a sympathy ploy to liberals frustrated he didnt get Card Check and Cap and Trade (yet) : ”Obama was just too nice to fight. ” Bush apologists used a very similar defense for him : ”Liberals wanted him to do that. ” to defend things we hated.

But we have seen completely partision clips of him at liberal rallies saying things like “The Tea party protesters should thank me for cutting their taxes” or claiming Republicans have only political motivations but he Obama is above that and only seeks what is good for America, and yes, I know people here in MD that believe that.
