"Obama seemed oddly like a spectator"

BHO is out of his comfort zone, no more campaigning and he appears lost with all of the events here and overseas. He spends more time bobbing and weaving over events like Benghazi and Boston than taking a proactive approach at actually leading the country. He whines about a recalcitrant Congress (sometimes accurately) but the bottom line is he refuses to make the tough decisions to whip them into line. Then he complains the results or lack of same.

"A presidential bystander"

It’s never a good sign for a president when he feels compelled to assure the public he still has a pulse.

This is the unenviable position President Obama was in Tuesday morning when he held a news conference in the White House briefing room and faced a profusion of questions about the stalled pieces of his legislative program. Asked by ABC News’s Jonathan Karl whether he still had “the juice to get the rest of your agenda through,” Obama paraphrased Mark Twain’s response to a newspaper’s report that he was near death. “You know, rumors of my demise may be a little exaggerated,” Obama said."

Rest of story:

Liked how he called Congress 'dysfunctional'....He does realize his party controls the Senate and they voted against his gun control legislation...Also like the comment about [name] cowh healthcare...there will be bumps and glitches down the road....who'd have thunk it?....
