    Actually, his lack of leadership was brought up, but it seemed the attention was put on Sara, that she had very little leadership, and even as Governor, it was only in a State of some 600 thousand (mind you, I did not intend to offend Alaska)

    The whole campaign was based on change, other than health care, no specifics change was actually mentioned.

    Exactly what does make a good leader

    I agree with what many have said...this guy pretty much has demonstrated how not to lead in a situation:

    -keeps the Congress out of the loop
    -can't coherently define the mission, objective, or end game
    -tells everyone when we're quitting (!), and what we're NOT doing (why tell our enemies our plan??)
    -doesn't realize how it looks to begin a military campaign while on vacation.

    There's probably more, but that's a pretty representative list of non-leadership.

    I've got to admit the Libyan action is confusing and seems to lack a coherent strategy. Other than making weapons suppliers richer (them cruise missiles are expensive) it doesn't seem to have a plan for what's next. That is never a good strategy when engaging a country.

    Also, for a President who is reportedly a bringer of peace he is current overseeing three separate theaters of military action and has expanded our involvement militarily across the world. So much for that Nobel Prize I guess...

    This action just brings up way too many questions (why not another humanitarian bombing in another country) and lacks any good answers. Maybe it is another nail in his electoral coffin.

    And, in more news, our Liar-in-chief keeps on keeping on...

    There are apparently 2,200 US troops just off the coast of Libya. Now remember: There's "no way" they will be put in Libya on the ground. Obama said so. Here's a story about the ground troops that don't exist:

    "No US ground forces in Libya...except these guys"--

    http://www.nationalreview.com/campaign-spot/262910/obama-no-us-forces-ground-libya-except-those-guys

    They must be there to watch a soccer game.

    Good grief, Obama...do you reckon you could slip up and tell the truth one time? What a piece of work you are...
