You do sound like the "do nothing bastards in Congress." You like the guy who hung a sign "Mission Accomplished", flew onto the deck in a bomber jacket and brain farted words like "We will smoke them out from their foxholes" etc. etc. And even better you are with the guys who say that Obama "leads from behind" because he himself did not pick up a rifle and join the special forces in the raid on the compound of Osama etc. When it comes to getting things done, it does not pay to be "honorary members." and merely keep signing things. What people applaud is getting your arse in gear and actually going out and doing things such as Obama has done.

The GOP loves accusing Obama of “leading from behind,” but Michael Tomasky says that’s looking pretty good after Gaddafi’s death.

Hey, suddenly “leading from behind” is looking pretty good, isn’t it? This instantly infamous phrase, spit like rusty nails out of the mouths of neocons and other foreign-policy bigwigs ever since it appeared in that New Yorker article, may have been an unfortunate locution in this age of instant TV analysis (including some by people who probably couldn’t place Libya on a map). But it described a way of conducting multilateral foreign policy that has achieved electrifying results.
