During the election there was much made of the lack of experience that had Gov Palin. Very few addressed President Obama background and decision making skills. As a Community Organizer he he did not have to make decisions, he organized people and formed committees to study the problems and come up with possible solutions. He did not have to make a decision. The committee they went out and demanded that government do something about the problems.
We saw this with the first Stimulus Bill. He told Congress that the country needed a stimulus bill and left it to congressional leaders to draw up the bill with no apparent input from him. With the Health Care Bill we see a House Version, A senate Version but nothing from the President. He goes out and tells the American People that they will have this and that covered and these things will be in the law, yet that is not what the bills say. Now he says he wants a Jobs Bill but does not give the Congress a plan or outline to start with. So once again we have the congressional leadership drawing up their dream plan.
When a President says he wants a piece of legislation he will send an outline to the congress saying this is what I want in the bill. These are the things I want to see the bill achieve. This gives Congress a starting point, then they add or subtract or change things they like or don't like and send it to the President.

0bama never lead a thing in his life. He was always a follower... never a leader.
He never had a real job... he was just a loudmouthed community agitator with a hatred for this country.
He has no clue as to what he is doing... he just wasted an entire year trying to push through an unpopular healthcare bill and then blamed the republicans when it fell through despite a massive democrat majority.
He is clueless on every issue... be it foreign or domestic, and has reversed himself on nearly every position he had campaigned on.

It is very easy to sit on the sideline and tell people what they are doing wrong. It is also easy to tell them what they should be doing. It is very hard to make the decision when presented with conflicting and convincing arguments when you have no experience.
