Dear Leader Obama is turning out to be a weakling. And you're 100% right about Bush. Bush faced his political enemies, "engaged" if you like a fancy word for it. He didn't whine about how the NY Times or CNN wasn't a "news organization" or some other pathetic excuse to not answer legitimate criticism.
All our Dear Leader can do is give prepared speeches in front of his cult followers, read from a teleprompter, and give interviews only to liberal idiots in the Mainstream Media.
Dear Leader has no spine. To me he appears to be very much afraid of taking on people face to face. If his ideas were so good I don't see why that would be a problem.
