There comes a time when certain people are called for leadership, they seize the day, and just plain lead. Then here are those who talk the talk, yet fail in the end to walk the walk. Such is the case of President Barack Obama.

He has a million dollar smile, he talks big, he loves to trot out in front of the TV cameras and the lights with his lady love. But when you get right down to it, he really has not really begun to take the lead on any issue, although the media establishment tries to set in place a breast enhancing wonderbra trying to tell us that he is still "the one" or "the messiah." Or in the spirit of the old Clara Peller 1980's Wendy's commercial, it is all coming down to "Where's the beef."

Rather than take control of issues, Barack Obama has allowed issues to control him. What hasn't helped is that he has surrounded himself with an incredible cadre of incompetent goons, led by former Senator Joe Biden. While Biden shows that he needs a license to "drive" his mouth after all of Bushisms, Attorney General Eric Holder continues to be an embarrassment with his race baiting comments, and Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano has never lived down her comments about returning Iraqi war vets as being a bunch of right-wind racists capable of domestic terrorism and her misstatement that the 9/11 terrorists entered the U.S. through Canada. And when he has attempted to take control of an issue like the controversial idea about closing the Guantanamo Bay prison, it was his own Democratic party in the Senate which quashed any notion of allowing it to happen by refusing to fund any closure by a 90-6 vote. It is almost like the tail wagging the dog rather than the dog wagging its tail.

And you know things are not good on the homefront for President Obama when left-wing political pundits as Rachel Maddow have hit him hard nightly over his failure reverse the U.S.'s archaic position on gays and lesbians being allowed to openly serve in the military, as the military continues to spew out gay Arabic linguists and other incredibly talented military people just because of their sexual orientation. Again, the tail wagging the dog. And then there is the incredible case of Air Force Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach which President Obama is IGNORING. (Obama's point man on the issue, Rep. Barney Frank, has stated that dealing with the issue won't come for at least another two years. Whoopee! The very people that we need to carry out the war on terrorism are being cast out out to sea. The Democrats love to play the "progressive thinking" card with the gay community when it comes to fundraising to which the community runs to them panting. Yet when it has come to actually DOING SOMETHING and getting past the "talk," the Democratic party has FAILED MISERABLY. Am I wrong? If so, please let me know.)

Ghe fact is that Pres. Obama has never developed any momentum since taking office in January, something which is needed if one is to position oneself as a leader from the getgo. He needs to position himself as a take charge leader if he is to even begin to fulfill his campaign promise of "bringing change we can believe in." The only change we have had for now is all of the spare change he is and will be pickpocketing from the American people in his own spree of government spending which our country is going to have to deal with one way or another.
