No Decisions: Obama Votes ‘Present’ on Cabinet Picks

Considering the fact that he has talked more than once about his second term since before he even got the nomination, I would have expected him to have all of this already figured out.

Someone who votes “present” or not at all as often as he has (even on issues he ostensibly holds a position on) will not be in any way decisive or principled.

He has never demonstrated any leadership qualities and has no record of accomplishment. Even so, he has published two … count ‘em … two memoirs with nothing more to write about than his own stream of consciousness.

The only thing he seems to do well is to read off a teleprompter convincingly — it is the only time he displays any real feeling. He will be as he always has been — in his own words, “… a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripe project their own views.”

Dragonfly nails it — Obama is a zero sum.
