A few examples of leadership in times of crisis:
“Speak softly and carry a big stick.” – Teddy Roosevelt
“Here's my strategy on the Cold War. We win, they lose.” – Ronald Reagan
“This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing.” – George W. Bush
“When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
“We don't have a strategy yet.” – Barack Obama

The error you made HA in your post is that the first 4 were LEADERS.
They last one is anything but a leader.

To lead one must have a realistic destination as well as a path to get there. Obama, by his own parties words is a community oganizer, not a community leader..

Let's not judge in haste. After all, any moment the leader of the TBVIECians, along with his lieutenant The Closet Democrat(Gray Ghost is a fitting name for one who has tucked tail and hide's like an effeminate spineless coward),his military adviser The Fish and the rest of blathering GLOATING minions who have disappeared will be along to s'plain to us Rubes the real meaning of "No Stategy".

Nvagvup said it perfectly years ago: There is a difference between leadership and bullship. And the current occupant in the White House is 100% bullship.

"The loose definition is "present"...."
This sums Obama up in one word, and has been his trademark since he got into politics.

From Mouse's link: "There is in fact no man there at all." Most accurate quote of the year.
