I am so unbelievably tired of this particular criticism. You can accuse him of being too liberal. You can accuse him of being soft on illegal immigration. You can accuse him of being to civil to his political opponents. You can accuse him of trying to work with others, but you absolutely can NOT accuse this man of having no balls.
With his approval rating in the thirties, he has steadfastly kept his eye on the ball, conducted a GWOT (or whatever you want to call it), Refused to back down EVEN to the people in his own party and absolutely positively done what he thought was best for the country in the long run no matter what toll he is having to take personally.
If that is not the very definition of "balls" I don't know what is. A lesser man would be running around looking for ways to increase his personal approval ratings and handing out goodies to the constituents like every single one of our legislators in order to score short term points.
The President is not. You may disagree with what he has decided to do (and I have from time to time) but it has not been because he lacks the courage of his convictions.
Applause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But...I did.... The facts are stubborn things.....
Marvelous post.
