Why does the President let things get so out of control?
I ask this question because I sincerely want to know.
There is a pattern emerging from the tea partiers right down to this oil spill.
Don't get me wrong I really love him as President but I think that he has a blatant blindspot that he is not willing to address.
I mean the guy seems like he would be the introspective type so why is he not willing to see that his approach to most problems in their early stages does not work.
He sees something coming and he seems to just buckle down to solve it on the inside not realizing that as President he needs to show what he is doing on the outside.
I know he is a hard worker and I know that he is involved at a deep level on policy etc but he does not seem to get the importance of playing the outside game. In fact he seems to look down on the outside game as if it is not worth his time.
This is a mistake I think because so far he has paid a heavy political price.
His credibility is on the line in this latest one.
I watched his Presser yesterday and I thought he had all the technical points down but his emotions did not seem to match the words coming out of his mouth.
When he gets angry he says words of anger but his expression remains cool and aloof. It seems as if something is missing.
Maybe it is the 'only child' thing. I get that because when you are an only child sometimes you tend to live in your head. In your head you feel that you are doing everything to express how you feel on the outside but you are not. I am the only girl in my family and have felt at times I was the only child. For most of my life I had to take care of myself because my brothers got all the attention. Because of this I sometimes do not connect to people because I really do not trust that they will understand where I am coming from and I refuse to give them any of my power. Maybe this is where our Prez is coming from.
At least I hope so but I just don't know and I don't understand
How could someone have the so much power in the palm of his hand and squander it by just sitting on it.
Another thing I notice about the President is that he seems that he wants so much to be liked by the Republicans that he bends over backwards and twists into a pretzel at the same time to please them. Once again I feel this really goes back to being an only child and wanting to be accepted and liked by all and hating rejection. He seems to long for their approval and as a result keeps running after at the expense of everything.
Does he not know how this looks? Is Michelle not talking to him about this stuff?
Maybe she is but he seems to be pretty stubborn.
I just don't know what to say or what to think anymore.
He really needs to sit down and take a look at his leadership style because a narrative is developing out there. He is a good guy and I feel his heart is in the right place but if he does not do something about this blindspot he has being a good guy will only get him so far.
He really needs a good talking to so he can get his head in the game.
The inside game will get him points in his administration but they are not the ones who will vote for him in 2012. He needs to start working on his outside game and being more effective at communicating both at the same time.
I wish him the best.'
