For John, BLUF: President Obama is no LBJ. Nothing to see here; just move along.
The one and only Ms Maureen Down writes Sunday in The New York Times, "No Bully in the Pulpit".♠ She is not happy with President Obama's ability to pass legislation. I think there are some misperceptions in the article about where the US is on "gun control" and about what the legislation proposed, but Ms Dowd may be on to something here:
President Obama has watched the blood-dimmed tide drowning the ceremony of innocence, as Yeats wrote, and he has learned how to emotionally connect with Americans in searing moments, as he did from the White House late Friday night after the second bombing suspect was apprehended in Boston.Regards — CliffUnfortunately, he still has not learned how to govern.
How is it that the president won the argument on gun safety with the public and lost the vote in the Senate? It’s because he doesn’t know how to work the system. And it’s clear now that he doesn’t want to learn, or to even hire some clever people who can tell him how to do it or do it for him.

I am shocked that anyone is shocked that this amateur hasn't done anything of significance. In fact, the medical disaster that we know as Obamacare wasn't even his baby. It's ugly conception was in the womb of the House and parented into life by progressivists in the Senate.
The fact is, if you look at Obama's entire life record, it is one devoid of anything meaningful. Oh, he has held offices, but those have merely been platforms upon which he can be admired and perhaps worshiped. He is an obsessive narcissist. His entire life is devoted to being pretty and cultivating devotion.
