Well I disagree. I don't think it is a question of his leadership. You cannot lead those that won't follow.
FYI I think he has veered to the middle. why do you think liberals are all pissed at him? WHERE IS MY PUBLIC OPTION????? WHY MORE WAR??? etc...
And disagree...that shit was just starting to flame up when he won the presidency, and the problems we have right now far predate his work as president.
