You know Doc, the more I think about it, I don’t know why that’s even a question. Of course he can’t lead. If he could, he would have by now.What if all those years that the dems said there was a mastermind behind Bush was based on their inside knowledge of a system in which they had a mastermind behind their own candidate? What if the crazies are right and all the presidents are really controlled by a secret cabal?
More realistically he is a community organizer who is in over his head and his staff, counselors, party leaders, et al, have merely picked up the slack. Suppose Sarah Palin who was more qualified than Obama would have been in over her head too but after being a Senator for Alaska she gains the experience to run for President and won't be in over her head?
Leading in the destruction of America .... the evil, unjust, racist, colonist empire!What leadership ?

Not blaming it on one man .....So, you are saying that the Republicans are just a bunch of sheep following the shepherd. I would agree.
However, a rational person could argue that the country has been in destruction mode since about a decade after its founding. Or one could argue it began with Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Reagan, Clinton, Bush. One could also argue that the apathy of the people has caused its destruction, or even the solidifying of the two party system.
The most logical argument is that the people have ignored the warnings of the Framers such as Washington arguing against a two party system, Franklin warning about the loss of the Republic form of governance, Jefferson warning about the evils of corporations, and entanglement in foreign matters.
To blame it on one man is the act of the irrational.
Not blaming it on one man .....
Nevertheless ... this "one man" has been more destructive than all the other men combined and with a different agenda than the others!
Sorry Trap ....Problem is he is following the same agenda Bush started. Do some research on it. Or does your partisanship not allow you to do actual research on your own?

Sadly, while most of you would claim to be “Tea Party” supporters, and perhaps you are, you will still vote Republican (The Tea Party is simply another name for Republican) which will remain controlled by RINO’s as long as you are alive, and perhaps longer. They are the ones that control the funding for candidates, the legislative agenda, and the list of donors. And under Dick Armey, and Karl Rove, they will still be RINO's. The “Tea Party” is simply an extension of the GOP following most of the same agenda, and giving just enough appearance of being something different.
And, if you had been wise, you would have supported groups like this which actually share many of your beliefs:

Sorry Trap ....
You lost me with the blame Bush card. I am no fan of Bush and even lesser a fan of ignorant political debate. You can continue to quote wikipedia as a legitimate source, you can continue to believe TEA Party members are no different than RINO's or Republicans or what the hell ever ....
I am not interested in your comments at this point!
(The Tea Party is simply another name for Republican)
Yes Bush was a Rino...BUT he didn't systematically twist and mutilate the language as Obama and all of his underlings do, all the time and on nearly every issue, without some purpose in mind. They downplay the war both to obscure the real enemy and to build up another one. They call significant scandals “phony” to deflect from their responsibility and pin back the ears of the victims, who are this administration’s enemies. The enemy that Obama’s administration consistently targets is people who oppose his political agenda here at home. His IRS singles them out. His EPA punishes whole states. His NLRB tries to force union rules on right-to-work states and non-union enterprises. Obamacare forces the heavy, central planning blue state model on red states whether they want it or not (and they don’t). Increasingly, no one but Obama’s union friends and bloodless bureaucrats want Obamacare, and they only support it as a means of power — they don’t want to live under it themselves. Not to mention what I see as a war on Christianity...Problem is he is following the same agenda Bush started. Do some research on it.

Obama knows(yes he knows) that he is not constitutionally empowered to pick and choose which laws will be enforced. This is a might-makes-right presidency, and if Barack Obama has been from time to time muddled and contradictory, he has been clear on the point that he has no intention of being limited by something so trivial as the law.
Unfortunately, the Founders expected that Congress would be more concerned about its own powers and prerogatives than this one seems to be..
My point is, He is nothing like George Bush..
As to Obamacare, or perhaps more rightly it should be called "Romneycare", no one knows as of yet what will happen when it is fully implemented. .
