Mr President, We need a leader.
When you say, "It's the Republicans fault" you may as well say "Will they please stop being so mean?"
Americans want someone who can kick the others guys' ass. This is not constitutional law nor a constitutional debate. It's about the perception: Is Obama strong enough to take on the dark force the Republican party has become?
As much as we hated Bush, no one would argue that we was strong. As much as we liked Carter, he was weak.
You're supposed to protect us. What that means: You've got to out-politic the other guys. Your rating are below 40 because we haven't.
You seem like the guy who tries to debate in a fist fight. Who wins?
