Leadership

U.S. embassies are under siege all over the middle east.

A U.S. Ambassador and three other Americans were assassinated after which our leadership still has not settled on a story line that remotely resembles the truth while relieving them of any culpability.

The existence of our closest ally (until this administration) in the middle east is threatened and their leader's request to meet President Obama in the U.S. was blown off.

All of these events are taking place and our President's attention is focused on The Late Show with David Letterman, Jay Z, Beyonce, and a radio interview with the "Pimp with a Limp".

Mr. Obama may be cool.  He may be suave. He may be hip.  But, right now, America doesn't need any of those qualities.  Right now, America needs an unwavering spokesman who can look our foes in the eye, make our positions clear, and make the punishment for violating those positions even clearer. America needs a leader. It's clear to the entire world that as leaders go, President Obama is about as useless as a tampon at Betty White's house.

It's time to stop campaigning and act Presidential.  This act should be deliberate and profound and it should not be an apology.
