I'm so sick of "PBO should do this, do that, say this." If these people are so knowledgeable, so much better at being a president& a leader then why aren't they?<br /><br />I like my President just fine the way he is & I appreciate the job he is doing in the face of unpresidented obstruction. He's got my vote & my boots for walking his campaign.<br /><br />Just saying.....<br /><br />Aquagranny911Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-57451113959392391192012-06-27T11:58:43.031-05:002012-06-27T11:58:43.031-05:00Too bad we don't have a "like button"...Too bad we don't have a "like button" here...<br /><br />.."personally I like people in leadership positions who are even tempered and reasonable.

It's also my guess that the president and his staff have got several very well crafted plans drafted to react to any of the potential outcomes once the ruling is handed down. It was his administration that pushed for an expedited ruling and he knows that his strength is his counterpunch.lockewasrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358592658624727244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-28570229474687639302012-06-27T11:06:41.009-05:002012-06-27T11:06:41.009-05:00Exactly.

Even as it is, wingnuts see him as "petulant" and prone to "temper tantrums" (projection city, here we come).<br /><br />On the contrary, the President needs to be even more statesmanlike than a white politician -- just like a female president would need shore more "nerves of steel" and less "emotion" than a male. Sad but true.<br /><br />That aside, personally I like people in leadership positions who are even-tempered and reasonable. They make me feel safer. A president with a short fuse and the finger on the red button -- not so much.<br /><br />MaikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-85409193422962866122012-06-27T10:48:48.892-05:002012-06-27T10:48:48.892-05:00Heads of state don't normally express anger li...Heads of state don't normally express anger like most people. It's tacky and it clouds one's better judgement. The GOP wins if the President snaps publicly. It's better to do what he's been doing. The GOP allowed their prejudice to get the better of them and they can't even run a decent candidate. "The President wants to hire more teachers and firefighters.." is a bad thing now. The GOP even exposed themselves by voting for Ryan's bs budget. There's a lot more I can say about this. The President is doing fine.<br /><br />Vic78Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-9335213872074642402012-06-27T10:13:34.711-05:002012-06-27T10:13:34.711-05:00Yeah, if there's one quality that annoys me th...Yeah, if there's one quality that annoys me the most about pundits as a whole, it's the psychological projection. A lot of pundits on the left want the President to show anger and kick republican teeth in because it's what they imagine themselves doing. What I don't think they've ever gotten is that there are way's to beat these idiots without resorting to shouting matches and ruling by fiat.Pyro Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-40838186788603019082012-06-27T10:11:37.654-05:002012-06-27T10:11:37.654-05:00Agreed. The President likes to win, and he works ...Agreed. The President likes to win, and he works very hard to create situations where he does. Romney and his kind can feel like winners almost all the time, because they had a head start. The President worked for his, and people who have to earn their wins know you need to be strategic about things, about all things. The GOP froths at the mouth, 24/7, and has a network or two (and rents space on the others) on which to do it. The President cannot win on their terrain, so almost obviously he doesn't choose to fight them on it.<br /><br />People who are actually in a bad situation, economically for the most part in our case, do not need someone to piss off on their behalf. They are not so stupid as to think that a President pissing off will help them. People want a clear articulation of an understanding of their actual situation and a workable plan to move forward in a way that will be beneficial.<br /><br />Well, we have less than 24 hrs until the Court rules on the ACA, and if they strike down enough so it's unworkable you will see a lot of people who realize that they liked the bill all along, because they'll miss its provisions.Billhttp://freeandeasywandering.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-47207664089167801022012-06-27T09:58:26.219-05:002012-06-27T09:58:26.219-05:00I very much doubt that BHO doesn't get mad.

That's the difference between me and the Prez. I joined the Marines during a war to kill people. He joined his neighbors ... ALL of neighbors. Not just the nice ones who agreed with him.<br /><br />I blame Michele. I truly think she is the anchor that makes him work thru the anger to try to be the best BHO he can be. Yup. It's all her fault.DerFarmhttp://yellowdogpolitics.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
