Do you remember that story about him getting shot? They drove him to the hospital and he insisted on walking in without assistance to show the world his resolve. He collapsed after he was through the doors and off camera, but that is what it's all about brother....moxy.
Our president is a figure head and not much more. He can't control as much as many of you think. Quick review: there are 3 branches of government. Executive is where the President works. That's only 1/3 the power.
I hope and pray that Obama will be a leader and not the follower his political past suggests. I hope he'll do the right thing and be strong when faced with other world leaders. If he doesn't, they'll laugh at him just like Bill Clinton and proceed to launch at will like they did.
