President Obama came from one of the hardest political areas in the country, Chicago.
Do not underestimate this man when it comes to being tough. There is a steel fist in that velvet glove.

It's interesting how the Democratic Congress finally found the gonads that they had misplaced or lost while Bush was President. I wonder how the found them.

Getting legislation through Congress requires leadership, not just to get any old bill but to make quality legislation. Obama needs to be guiding policy by enunciating his principles and then using his political skills to pull the Democrats behind him and push the Republicans to support his legislation.

He had little legislative record upon coming into office so we have only ourselves to blame if he is proving not up to the task.

Unfortunately the Europeans see him as inexperienced and weak.

He is incapable of being tough.
