Why President Obama is not a leader
Here is why I do not think President Obama is a good leader. Since being president, he has been consistent in letting republican'ts set the discussion, tone and topics of the national debate. President Obama has let the republican'ts water down, weaken and obstruct needed legislation with impunity. If President Obama was a leader, we would have a robust economic recovery law that spends most of it's money on creating jobs by funding infrastructure projects. President Obama let the republican'ts remove jobs money and replace it with tax cuts that don't work. If President Obama was a leader, we would have a single payer medical health law. At the very least, Medicare should have been extended to people between 45 and 65. Abortion would not have been an issue because the women covered are too old to have babies. Speaking of abortion - IT IS LEGAL! I can think of no other issue where a legal thing has so many laws proposed to try and restrict and eliminate it. If President Obama was a leader he would demand that all abortion restrictions on abortion must also automatically apply to handgun ownership also. President Obama has also elected to support and defend criminal acts and policies left over from the Bush administration, shameful. If President Obama was a leader, he would have increased tax revenue by allowing ALL the Bush tax cuts to expire. President Obama would have simply said that it is time for every citizen, regardless of income, to start paying their fair share and eliminate ALL tax breaks, instituting a single payer system. If President Obama was a leader ,the Senate would have voted on the 350 bills sent to it by Nancy Pelosi's House of Representatives when he had a majority. If President Obama was a leader he would drive home the point that the people who benefited most from the Bush tax cuts - the ones that republican'ts keep saying create the jobs - these people shipped all the jobs overseas and now even the middle class doesn't pay income taxes BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO INCOME! If President Obama was a leader he would use the language taught to us by the republican'ts, CONSTANTLY using phrases such as - "The failed policies of the republican congressional majority between 1995 and 2007..." If President Obama was a leader, the republican'ts would not be able to use the same talking points today that they were using 2 and 3 and 6 years ago
