Leadership, Obama Style, and the Looming Losses in 2010: Pretty Speeches, Compromised Values, and the Quest for the Lowest Common Denominator

Here are some highlights:
What's costing the president are three things: a laissez faire style of leadership that appears weak and removed to everyday Americans, a failure to articulate and defend any coherent ideological position on virtually anything, and a widespread perception that he cares more about special interests like bank, credit card, oil and coal, and health and pharmaceutical companies than he does about the people they are shafting.
Leadership, Obama Style
Consider the president's leadership style, which has now become clear: deliver a moving speech, move on, and when push comes to shove, leave it to others to decide what to do if there's a conflict, because if there's a conflict, he doesn't want to be anywhere near it.
We have seen the same pattern of pretty speeches followed by empty exhortations on issue after issue.
Like most Americans I talk to, when I see the president on television, I now change the channel the same way I did with Bush. With Bush, I couldn't stand his speeches because I knew he meant what he said. I knew he was going to follow through with one ignorant, dangerous, or misguided policy after another. With Obama, I can't stand them because I realize he doesn't mean what he says -- or if he does, he just doesn't have the fire in his belly to follow through. He can't seem to muster the passion to fight for any of what he believes in, whatever that is. He'd make a great queen -- his ceremonial addresses are magnificent -- but he prefers to fly Air Force One at 60,000 feet and "stay above the fray."
No Vision, No Message
The second problem relates to the first. The president just doesn't want to enunciate a progressive vision of where this country should be heading in the 21st century, particularly a progressive vision of government and its relation to business. He doesn't want to ruffle what he believes to be the feathers of the American people, to offer them a coherent, emotionally resonant, values-driven message -- starting with an alternative to Ronald Reagan's message that government is the problem and not the solution -- and to see if they might actually follow him.
The Politics of the Lowest Common Denominator
And capping off all of these aspects of the president's leadership style is his preference for the lowest common denominator. That means you don't really have to fight, you don't have to take anybody on, you don't take any risks. You just find what the public is so upset about that even the Republicans would stipulate to it if forced to (e.g., that excluding people from health care because they have "pre-existing conditions" is something we can't continue to tolerate) and build it into whatever plan the special interests can hammer out around it.
I don't honestly know what this president believes. But I believe if he doesn't figure it out soon, start enunciating it, and start fighting for it, he's not only going to give American families hungry for security a series of half-loaves where they could have had full ones, but he's going to set back the Democratic Party and the progressive movement by decades, because the average American is coming to believe that what they're seeing right now is "liberalism," and they don't like what they see. I don't, either.
What's they're seeing is weakness, waffling, and wandering through the wilderness without an ideological compass. That's a recipe for going nowhere fast -- but getting there by November.

spritz cookie disaster
Baking your favorite Christmas Cookies in Italy is not always easy.... Over the years I have tried Divinity and Fudge, but substituted certain impossible to find ingredients only to create some barely edible too sweet treats. Pecan pie is nearly impossible to make because of lack of corn syrup and pecans.
This year I attempted Spritz Cookies. I found a cookie press after searching five stores but it sucks. I did manage (well, Franco managed) to eek out a few batches. By the end, I was so frustrated I murdered the Christmas Tree cookies. (I thought those little cinnamon hearts could go in the oven?)
I finally broke down and ordered two cookie presses from overstock.com but they aren't here yet.
Never the less, the cookies were quite tasty. Small, but tasty.
This is what they should look like...I did not have any easy time like she did.

"President Obama, for whom I voted because I believed he was the best choice available, is a profound disappointment. I now regard his campaign as a sly bait-and-switch operation, promising one thing and delivering another. Shame on me.
Equally surprising, he has become an insufferable bore. The grace notes and charm have vanished, with peevishness and petty spite his default emotions. His rhetorical gifts now serve his loathsome habit of fear-mongering.
"Time is running out," he says, over and again. He said it on health care, on the stimulus, in Copenhagen, on Iran.
Instead of provoking thought and inspiring ideas, the man hailed for his Ivy League nuance insists we stop thinking and do what he says. Now."

"are hillary clinton supporters murmuring i told you so?"
Are Hillary Clinton supporters murmuring I told you so?
December 17, 7:04 AM
NY Obama Administration Examiner
Marc Rubin
With a new NBC/Wall Street journal poll showing Obama hitting his lowest approval rating in that poll, and the same poll showing that people are getting increasingly fed up with Obama, the Democrats and how both have handled health care,(how they handled it, not rejecting things that are in it, like the public option) those who supported Hillary Clinton for president in the Democratic primaries are starting to say "I told you so".
Obama's had the biggest approval ratings drop of any first year president in history. He has disappointed most of his supporters on the left. And he has accomplished little to nothing in his first year that has showed any concrete results in spite of him giving himself a B+ for his performance in his first year.
What he has done is make more speeches and had more prime time press conferences in his first year than any president has given in their entire first term.
On healthcare reform, most of his supportes are complaining that he sold out and was two faced in his capitulation. Which he was. But these are traits he exhibited not only during his entire 12 years of elected office, but were on glaring display during the Democratic primaries.
Now everyone is angry with him for showing a lack of principle, commitment, experience and expertise and his willingness to sacrifice any principle on a dime, but that's who Obama has always been and he showed it repeatedly during the primaries, whether he was willing to sell out the voters of Florida and Michigan to help himself get elected, or reversing himself on a pledge to use public financing.
Now as Obama's approval ratings continue to hit record lows for a first term president, and he is bringing the Democratic party down with him, as people are getting fed up with his handling of a propositon -- the public option and health care reform -- that 72% supported back in June, many Hillary Clinton supporters are starting to say "we told you so".
More and more of Obama's staunchest supporters, the same people who turned a blind eye to Obama's deep character flaws, lack of experience, and brazen political dishonesty and deceit, are now complaining that he's not what they thought he was, that this isnt change they can believe in. But it never was in the first place. It was clear to anyone who was paying attention, that "change you can believe in" was nothing but a slogan. Because he never did say what kind of change he had in mind.And if you asked a supporter they couldnt tell you either.
Ed Schultz, Arianna Huffington, the people at The Nation, Matt Taibbi at Rolling Stone, and Michael Moore are just a few of Obama flag wavers now wavering in their support and scratching their heads saying "what happened"?
The answer is nothing happened. Obama is being the same Obama he always was, the same Obama that was apparent during the Democratic primaries, the same Obama that 18 months ago after listening to a couple of speeches, caused me to write that he was a snake oil salesman and the most underhanded, deceitful politician since Richard Nixon. But the press. who was in Obama's pocket, refused to see it.Or report it.
For those who saw through the phoniness, Obama has been exactly what the majority of Democratic primary voters thought he was. Remember that Hillary Clinton actually received more votes than Obama, and went into the Democratic convention having won the popular vote.
During the primaries Clinton supporters mocked Obama supporters and their beliefs as people who were "drinking the Kool-Aid". Obama supporters accused Clinton supporters, and anyone who opposed Obama's candidacy of being racist. This was the state of the Democratic party courtesy of the candidate who ran on the proposition that he had a unqiue ability to unite people and bring them together. He ran on the fiction that he had some great ability to unite Democrats and Republicans and put an end to partisanship. Which is why every Republican is voting against the health care bill and he hasnt been able to unite any disparate group on anything.
In a recent article in Rolling Stone, Matt Taibbi writes, "Obama pulled a bait-and-switch on us. If it were any other politician, we wouldn't be surprised. Maybe it's our fault, for thinking he was different."
Yes it was your fault for not seeing what was right in front of everyone's eyes. The fact that he pulled a bait and switch shouldnt leave anyone surprised. That was the snake oil Obama was selling during the primaries and a lot of people bought it and are now seemingly first finding out it was all just sugar and water.
The reason people are feeling so stung by Obama is that he held himself up to be a different kind of politician, someone above the petty politics and back room deals of Washington. All the while engaging in petty politics and backroom deals. What also makes it particularly insidious is when a snake oil salesman goes into a community that is hurting and tells everyone he has the cure and its right in this here bottle when all along he knows its nothing but a bottle of empty promises. That's called a con. And now a lot of people who should have known better are realizing it.
It was clear during the primaries when Obama constantly reneged on promises and pledges and resorted to serial lying both when it came to Jeremiah Wright, and the incident in Ohio when a document was leaked that caught Obama red handed lying to the people of Ohio about his position on NAFTA. He told the people in Ohio who were hurting economically precisely because of things in NAFTA that if they elected him he'd get rid of NAFTA. At the same time he was caught telling the Candians to ignore what he said in Ohio, that he had no intention of getting rid of NAFTA, that it was all just for politics. if that had happened to any other candiate for president it might have been the end. But the press had an agenda for Obama and they just ignored it.
But If a politician is willing to prey on the misfortunes of people to get votes, raising their hopes, and making promises he knows he has no intention of fullfilling, nothing he does should surprise anyone.
But at the time it was exposed, the same people who are now complaining about Obama betraying them and selling them out, turned a blind eye to what happened in Ohio. If Clinton had been caught doing the same thing the press would have demanded she drop out of the race and would have said she couldnt be trusted.
The fact that Obama was clearly the least qualified candidate for the Democratic nomination, didnt seem to matter to his supporters either. And while he claimed he was the person who knew how to bring people together the Democratic presidential primaries were the most divisive in the history of the party. In his campaign speeches he said "voices must be heard" but he did everything in is power to keep the voices of the voters in Florida and Michigan from being heard because he was landslided in both primaries by Clinton. Instead of fighting for the right to have their votes count on principle, he was quite content to have them silenced in favor of his own ambitions. So why are people surprised now that he sold them out on healthcare reform?
snip
During the primaries,Obama's selling out promises were rampant. He promised to use public financing if he was the nominee then reneged as soon as became the nominee. He promised to filibuster and vote against the FISA bill if it gave telecoms retroactive immunity then reneged, didnt filibuster and voted for it. And lied, until he couldn't lie any longer about his relationship with Jeremiah Wright and on sending on his economic advisors to the Canadian embassy to tell them to ignore everything he was saying publicly about NAFTA.
This is the person that liberals and Democrats who supported him are now surprised has sold them out when it was apparent that Obama was probably the most underhanded politician since Richard Nixon. The difference between the two is that Nixon used deceit to get even. Obama used it to get ahead. It all goes to character and how that influences decisions. As well as having a vision and sticking up for a principle, something Obama has thrown overboard on healthcare.
So perhaps Hillary Clinton supporters can be excused if they are now saying " We told you so". Because they did.

update on census taker murdered by glenn beck
I missed the update on this story while I was in Prague. Do you remember Bill Sparkman? The census taker/teacher who was found *hanged* with the word FED scrawled in his chest? The one who inspired stories such as these from Daily Kos:
"Census Worker Lynching - Anti-Census Fury?"
"Did Bachmann's rhetoric play a role in the death of Census worker?"
"Census Worker Found Dead -- I Blame Bachmann"
Rick Ungar wrote a piece called Send the body to Glenn Beck in which he declares: "Maybe the time has come for the FCC to worry a bit less about wardrobe malfunctions and a whole lot more about those who would use our airwaves to make a name for themselves at the expense of the public they are suppose to serve – particularly when the expense comes in the form of blood."
Rachel Maddow and her little friends at msnbc were all too happy to point the fingers at Conservatives, and chalk this all up to anti-government/anti-Obamanisms.
From a post on Protein Wisdom:
From Legal Insurrection, Ghouls Preparing To Dance on Sparkman's Grave
I could go on, but you get the picture.
This was a comment I left on Riehl World Views post, Was Census Worker Bill Sparkman A Child Predator?
Well, it was reported on November 24 that it was a suicide.
So, did anyone ever apologize? Like I said, I was out of town, so I might have missed a bunch of apologies streaming in from the Left...? I've seen updates and retractions, but no apologies.
"Census Worker Lynching - Anti-Census Fury?"
"Did Bachmann's rhetoric play a role in the death of Census worker?"
"Census Worker Found Dead -- I Blame Bachmann"
"The Republican Party murdered a census worker Sunday"
"The entire Republican Party has this man's blood on its hands. If you are a Republican, whether you actively participated in ginning up the insane hatred that claimed this man's life or merely sat by passively hoping to benefit from the slaughter that others incited, you are just as equally guilty.
Thanks to you, this man's children are orphans.

Rachel Maddow and her little friends at msnbc were all too happy to point the fingers at Conservatives, and chalk this all up to anti-government/anti-Obamanisms.
From a post on Protein Wisdom:
When Bill Sparkman was found hanged two months ago, with the word “Fed” written on his chest in marker, the Left was giddy in blaming Republicans, Michelle Malkin, Michelle Bachman, Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, teabaggers, yadda yadda yadda.
From Legal Insurrection, Ghouls Preparing To Dance on Sparkman's Grave
Andrew Sullivan cites "Southern populist terrorism, whipped up by the GOP and its Fox and talk radio cohorts" as the most likely culprit. MyDD uses the death to demand that "Conservatives must stop demonizing the census." A blogger at Crooks and Liars runs with the theme, arguing that the death is the inevitable result of Census "facts" being "scary things to those wingnuts." Richard Benjamin at Huffington Post, while acknowledging that it is just as likely Sparkman stumbled onto a meth lab as it is that he was killed by anti-government elements, nonetheless uses the death to "highlight the precarious struggles of the white working class and the brewing storm surrounding the 2010 Census."
Mark Kleiman writes: "Unless and until contrary facts emerge, I’m prepared to call this a terrorist incident, and to say that Glenn Beck very likely has Bill Sparkman’s blood on his tongue and lips." Seems to me that the people hoping beyond hope that Sparkman's death was political are the ones with blood on their tongues and lips.
I could go on, but you get the picture.
This was a comment I left on Riehl World Views post, Was Census Worker Bill Sparkman A Child Predator?
I had the same thoughts, Dan. The left is smearing the Right, Beck, Bachmann, Rush, etc. blaming them for the death, just because he had FED written on his chest? The media was in a rush to call him a census worker, although he has three jobs. They had their agenda....
I think the manner of his body was too staged, made to be something it wasn't. My firsts thought was some sort of sexual situation. I don't think it is smearing anyone to wonder - it's not like it doesn't happen ALL the time. And the police, no doubt, are investigating that possibility.
People who think Riehl is smearing the guy have no problem with the Left smearing those on the Right, blaming them for this.
Heck, I even wondered if his cancer had returned, and he did this to himself. People do weird sh*t all the time. Nobody here knows this guy - so no one can know for sure what happened. ANYTHING is possible.
Hell, who would have believed the guy from Mama's and the Papa's was sleeping with his daughter for 10 years!
The post by jpc above is certainly a possible scenario. I agree a drug dealer would have just killed him. I'm obviously no expert, but I have seen enough freaky stuff in the news to question anything and everything.

Well, it was reported on November 24 that it was a suicide.
The Kentucky census worker found hanging from a tree with the word “fed” scrawled on his chest staged his death to look like a homicide so that his son could collect his life insurance, the authorities said Tuesday.
Bill Sparkman's death had raised concern that he was killed because of his work.
“We believe this was an intentional act,” said Trooper Don Trosper, a Kentucky State Police spokesman. “We believe the aim was to take his own life.”
So, did anyone ever apologize? Like I said, I was out of town, so I might have missed a bunch of apologies streaming in from the Left...? I've seen updates and retractions, but no apologies.

guilty
Amanda Knox was found guilty for the murder of Meredith Kercher.
Amanda Knox and her Italian former boyfriend were found guilty last night of the murder of the British student Meredith Kercher, who was stabbed to death two years ago.
Knox, 22 and Raffaele Sollecito, 25, killed Kercher in an attack which ended with Sollecito taunting Kercher with one knife while Knox plunged another into her throat, the court heard during the trial.
Kercher, 21, from Coulsdon, Surrey, was found with a deep knife wound in the throat on the floor of her bedroom in the flat she shared with Knox and two young Italian women. She was a student at Leeds University and was spending a year at Perugia's university for foreigners when she was found murdered on 2 November 2007.
Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison while Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years. Knox was also found guilty of several other offences including criminal slander for pointing the finger of guilt at Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, 38, who ran a local bar. He later proved to have an alibi and was released after initially being arrested in connection with the murder.

i'm back from prague!
We had a wonderful time. I am working my way through the pictures. Here is a little taste of what we saw. This is the tree lighting ceremony in Prague, as seen from our hotel room.
I see lots has been happening in the news - from Afghanistan to Tiger Woods. Sure sounds like the peeps are none too happy with Obama. *sigh*
And what is up with Tiger? What a cheater. *double sigh* I am still going with the theory that his wife went after him with a golf club. Sounds like he deserved it...
More later. I am watching the finale of X-factor. :O)My favorite was eliminated while I was in Prague (I wasn't here to vote for him!!) but I still think he will be a big star! Silver singing Fatti mandare dalla mamma acappella.
Ciao!!
