Obama was that inspirational leadership. Apparently, he's lost his way these past few weeks.

I disagree. He's acting like an adult. It's impossible to be 'inspirational' to a mob unless you play to their lynching mentality... which smart people know is non-productive.


I agree that Obama is acting like an adult. That's not what I am criticizing.

I'm still VERY impressed with his econ team. All of them. Don't be a wuss... you knew this was not going to be a day at the beach.

I am not unimpressed with his economic team. The complaint I have is the same one voiced in Friedman's op-ed; that is, he could have turned around the AIG bonus issue and made it inspirational instead of playing into the mob mentality we are seeing right now. By making the return of the bonuses one of principal, he would have been inspirational, leading the country by the common and better good.
