Default The reason Obama does not take the initiative is he IS NOT a leader!

Taking the initiative, the bull by the horns and making a move in one direction or another requires leadership. Leadership requires one to know their subject...knows full well the pros and cons...does not wallow in the mire of support or criticism.

None of the characteristics Obama possess or demonstrates.

Being the pure bred politician that he is he would not have these qualities.
In fact his propensity to "play it safe" is demonstrated in his constant use of prepared speeches, teleprompters and ignoring the press and press conferences.
His type of persona requires controlled input and outcomes, therefore there can be no actions covert or otherwise that have risk of failure associated with it.

His entire administration is tentative in character...so instead of having staff that compensates for leadership weakness, Obama has a staff that complements his weakness of leadership.

As a result the priorities for the USA and the needs of we the people are not appropriately attended...hence a one term populist.
