Hi Taltarzac: Obama's is a withdrawalist. Look at his foreign policy decisions. In fact he ordered a successful surge in Afghan then withdrew the troops. This nonsens of leading from behind is only masking his inability to stay committed. The open mic incidented with the Russian President outed this man's inability to make a commitment and stick to it. He can't lead because he is an idealogue meaning that his vision irrespective to the real situation at hand will always prevail. The real world does not work that way. This is why he is in so much trouble.
