Our new President is a spineless jellyfish.
1) He won’t meet with the Dalai Lama:

2) He backed off his pledge to end “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

3) He hasn’t pushed through any major legislation (which in my mind is a good thing) when his party has control of both houses of Congress and he has a filibuster proof Senate. I don’t think a president in my lifetime has enjoyed such a partisan advantage in Congress.
4) He is waffling on Afghanistan. We have soldiers on the field in Afghanistan and he is sending mixed messages making our allies question our commitment, emboldening our enemies, and worst of all, hurting troop morale. In War you either get in to win or you get the hell out. The worst thing you can do to the troops is send mixed signals. It’s unforgiveable.
His lack of executive experience is really starting to show. When you are a leader and manager, you can’t get anything done when you try to please everyone and second guess every move. He should be teaching at a university; not running the largest organization in the world.
