As will surprise no one who has read this blog for any time, I am less-than-impressed with Barack Obama. He is a leftist with ties to Marxists (Alinsky, Ayers), racists (Wright), and idiots (Biden).
But with his first two weeks, Obama has demonstrated one of the traits not commented on widely in recent days: Inexperience with leadership.
Obama has little experience at running anything larger than his former Senate office. His Harvard Law Review days show little evidence of leadership. He is our Community-Organizer-in-Chief, now cast into a leadership role, and he is floundering.
His Cabinet choices are appalling. Clinton is damaged goods (her husband's speaking fees from foreign sources), Holder is a politically-tied Attorney General, Geithner is a tax cheat. Richardson, Daschle and Killefer had to withdraw. His Labor Department nominee is in trouble. These are mistakes that those who have not lead make.
He is being treated rudely by the families of those killed in the GWOT. A leader would know how to assuage these people.
Iran and North Korea taunt him. Is Pakistan deliberately trying to embarass him?
His stimulus plan, while it may pass, has damaged him.
On That-Forum-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, I have been challenged for addressing Obama as "Zero". However, for a man of no accomplishment, who screws up half his cabinet appointments, who offers no solutions to our problems, who offends the families of our heros, who tin-horn dictators around the world openly mock, the term "Zero" seems to be apt.
His weakness is everywhere.
Told you so.
It doesn't matter where you end up.
Sometimes, it just feels good to be off that damned road.

This is gonna leave a mark...
I would like to note something in this video.
There has been a recent increased use of body language experts in stories in the public domain. O'Reilly uses a body language expert (Click "Body Language" in the menu in the center left part of his page). CBS just ran a story on the body language of Hillary's speech in Denver.
So, rewatch the video above and pay attention at 1:45. Watch Obama's rate of blinking his eyes.
I'm no expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if a body language expert says that this indicates discomfort, if not disingenuity.

This woman...
- Who admires the "...activists who were devoted to overthrowing everything hateful about this government and corporate structure that we live in, and capitalism herself, himself..." (2:50)
- Who agrees with MLKs 1967 observation that "America is the Greatest Purveyor of Violence in the World, and that "that is what's true today". (5:15)
- Who believes herself to be "in the belly of the beast". (5:20)
- Who still, to this day, is talking about Kent State.
...is the same woman whom Barack Obama considers as "mainstream".
Amazing.
