You're right - he doesn't project weakness. He strongly fights for terrible policies that wreck the country.
That's utter nonsense you're spewing.
TARP was good, NCLB was good and the Surge worked. Those were all controversial decisions. PEPFAR was a great humanitarian achievement. I'm not saying Bush was a great president or even that I agree with him more than Obama, but he was better than he's given credit for. At the end of the day, there isn't a tremendous amount of difference between the establishment in the two parties, and I just don't think Obama is suited for the presidency. He's a good man who I admire (and voted for), but he thinks like an idealist and acts like a technocrat, which I don't think is a formula for success.
