to btk,

The role of President is to attempt to lead in very much the way Obama has. The Constitution clearly reserves legislating to Congress, so it is not the Executive's place to give all the specific detail you claim he should. Repeatedly, Obama has given strong leadership shoves to Congress to act in specific direction. With "a deal" on budget reduction the major focus of Congress, Obama's original summary of the studies by the debt reduction commission; namely the idea of a nearly $4 trillion budget reduction, including some modifications to entitlements and a substantial revision of the tax code, has been largely adopted by the gang of six and is most likely to be the framework of final Congressional action. How is that not leadership to provide the 535 blundering self-interested folks with a plan?! THAT is his job, and as even your friend Weidner states, it's not the first time he has done it rather well.
I've not seen a single post of yours which has given the President any credit for any action. Instead your comments are categorically negative and critical. I have suggested that that total negative view is not accurate. I did suggest it might be because of some intense dislike of the President. OK, so maybe you don't dislike him. But your negative judgement of all of his actions is still far from an accurate or objective assessment.
