Obama Has Failed

[doomer]

I just want to make a statement that it is a leader's responsibility to broker and create an environment of compromise. For our "leader" to play the blame game shows in fact that he has no leadership skills....only formal power and no real skill at using it. If the media was not SO democrat/liberal friendly, he would be crucified!!!

President Obama is the most egotistical President we have ever had. For him it is always 'my way or the highway'. I wish the government shutting down included the President, House and Senate not being paid. Things would probably be resolved quicker. No one is doing their job and everybody is at fault. They should all be fired.

I agree. But I don't put it all on Obama. Every leader in Congress has failed. If they can't work together and come to some agreement without a government shutdown, they all are failures. Get rid of every incumbent no matter what party. If you start saying it is his fault or his fault all you are doing is letting them off the hook. Find a way to make a deal. If you can't make a deal, you failed.

I don't think you can say every incumbent has failed, as I'm sure there were some on both sides that were willing to compromise....Unfortunately, the few can't force others to do the same.

Agree that this is a collective effort.

What a shame no one had the foresight to put term limits on Congress back in the 19th century. I'm more and more of the belief that it's the only solution. These people have no incentive to do anything, and yet their constituents (who deserve culpability too) continue to vote them in time and time again.

Nope. It's all Obama's fault. Good leaders make everybody happy and they don't worry about the tough decisions because they only make simple decisions. Good leaders worry about how people perceive them and they blame everyone else for their shortcomings because they are too damn good to make mistakes. Good leaders are what make this country go round. It's what wakes us up each morning. Good leaders. They are everywhere. There are so many we can't vote them all into office fast enough. Instead we got crummy old Obama. Shoot, all those good leaders out there and he was the best there was to offer. And he sucks. It's all his fault.

I liken this to when Bill Curry tried to run the option at UK with Tim Couch. Is Bill Curry a bad coach or a bad person? No. It's the system that's flawed.

 

The president is a like a head coach. They get too little credit for a win and too much credit for a loss

I think that our beloved Republicans in the House failed. You don't like a law, so you shut down a Government???? Is that, like, anarchy? It's a law, we must all get over it. Remember, not every part of ObamaCare is cool yet. The Supreme Court only said that people have to be a part of it, but states don't have to operate exchanges. That's all we know. Get your azz back on Capitol Hill, quit whining like babies, and fix what you can fix.

It is an irony of the media that Obama is praised for standing his ground and letting the government shut down while the Republicans are criticized for letting the government shut down. Which way is it?? When one signs up to be the boss, the buck stops there. It is funny how Bush was blamed for everything including the weather when there was a democratic-controlled house. The common theme is that truth and logic has gone way out the window. I doubt all of The affordable care act is bad, and I would be willing to bet compromise could be worked out, if THE HEAD GUY, would take the first step!!!

[mexitucky]

Hey, I'm no Obama fan. I, however, don't see anyway that he could have done this, short of repealing his baby. Everyone knows that he wouldn't do that, and it was too much to ask. I think that Obama has been poor as a leader. I wouldn't want him to run my company. Unfortunately he's the leader of our Country. However, this, this shut down. This is down right illegal, and I'm placing blame on the Republican leaders.

Republicans want Obamacare done away with or significantly damaged in exchange for funding the government. What do Democrats/Obama gain from agreeing to that? What is the compromise being offered here?

Was listening to NPR yesterday while traveling and one story said the Rep were asking for the individual mandate to be delayed 1 year. Is that all or are they asking for much much more?

And Obama wants the Republicans significantly damaged and wants things his way only. No compromise being offered from the majority of them including Obama.
