Leadership Free Zone

A recent Fox News article entitled "Graham Says Obama Is 'AWOL' on Stimulus Debate", stated (in part) the following...

President Obama has been "AWOL" in negotiations over the economic stimulus package, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday in a scathing rebuke of the new president.

The South Carolina Republican told FOX News that Obama has not been providing leadership, and he criticized the president for giving TV interviews and writing an editorial touting the package, rather than addressing the complaints of lawmakers.

"This process stinks," Graham told FOX News, before repeating a lot of his criticisms on the Senate floor. "We're making this up as we go and it is a waste of money. It is a broken process, and the president, as far as I'm concerned, has been AWOL on providing leadership on something as important as this."

I can only ask this question -- "How in the world anyone could think that the B.O. could provide leadership when he had no leadership skill set or experience prior to his coronation?"

It is simply not realistic by anyone from either the left or right to imagine that he will just magically start being a leader simply because he now inhabits the White House.

News flash --- You can't gain leadership experience through osmosis!
