Obama too brilliant to fail

The immovable object is the conviction on the part of some who are also his critics that he  is the smartest man who has ever held office, and is therefore too brilliant to fail. Citing his "shimmering intellect," Richard Cohen is at a loss to explain why he hasn't done anything with it.

Intelligence is not synonymous with leadership. Leadership it is character based and acquired through experience no one is born with the skill.  Looking at Obama's background we scant examples of any leadership.  His academic records from Columbia & Harvard are sealed.  His stint as a community organizer didn't involved managing or directing large scale project but mostly sitting in meeting's and delivering speeches.  As a State Senator he mostly voted present and avoided tough issues.  Ditto for Senator Obama who's years were spent mostly campaigning for President.  So now here we are at present day and his policy's have not worked.

An irresistible force is meeting an immovable object on the field of perception, and causing an odd sort of storm. The irresistible force is the growing idea that Obama has failed as a leader on a number of items: "Engagement" has failed; our allies are angry; the oil keeps gushing, his ideas are job killers; the recession goes on.
His party lost three big elections under his guidance and seems poised for a drubbing. The harder he pushes the country's laws leftward, the more its politics bend to the right.

Clearly we need to change course and I think the country will do so in November.
