Obama shows his lack of ability to make decisions

According to Fox News, Obama stated that "he would leave it up to the “experts in the markets to make an assessment of what’s going to work.”" Why have this guy as a Senator if he can't make decisions and analyze things for himself.

You would think after he criticized himself for not having the ability to make decisions that he would avoid presenting himself as such throughout his campaign.

What do you guys think? Is this a bad quality for a President who's day to day task is making decisions on behalf of the country?

 

I for one would like experts opinions on something myself.

I would not want someone as president who thought he knew every single thing on every single issue.

---BTW having experts giving him an 'assessment' would be where me makes his decision from, would it not?

I thought that's how all administrations worked.

I also thought most Republicans wanted the government out of Business, allowing the experts in business to control it?

 

Absolutely, but they've had meetings on this already and they've already given their advice, still, Obama sits on his thumb waiting for someone else to offer their opinion.

 

No we would not want a president that talks with experts and gets different opinions and then make a decision, while leaving the detail to the experts.
we want a president that can make rash and reckless decisions about the country based on the powers of his gut.
after all we picked bush twice and see no reason to change direction as we are blind.

 

Well if I read where exactly he stated it and how I could draw a better conclusion

 

Experts are the worst people to rely upon when it comes to making decisions.

We need DECIDERS..plain y simple!

 

Practicing your español I see.

 

I absolutely agree.

Here is an issue that is very complex. Reportedly the Paulson/ Bernanke/ Cox team considered various alternatives including some being presented prior to their proposal. Various experts/economists are proposing an array of alternatives. The original proposal was debated and subjected to alternatives after political input from Congress and is still subject to alternatives.

I absolutely want input from experts. How utterly nonsensical would it be to do it any other way.

Do you think the proposal presented to Congress came from the expertise of Bush. Seems like he totally stayed out of the process till the end.

Neither Bush, Obama, or McCain are expert in this situation.(In fact who in the world is "the expert" on this scenario) As with most executive decisions it depends on judgement

 

Wasn't McCain belittled earlier this year for virtually the same response?

 

I don't know, was he?

The same response on the same issue?

In any event, one would need the specifics to make an actual decision. A few word quote makes it extremely hard to make an accurate decision on it in it's entirety.

 

No, I don't think consulting experts on any number of subjects is a bad thing at all. Quite the opposite, actually, as some have said here. It's one of the things that impressed me about Obama early on, and I find that a mark of quality, not weakness.

On this specific issue, it is a gordian knot, and though the president wants to demand an immediate response, based on Paulson's plan, well, not again. This is going to take careful consideration, and nothing will be easy.

Perspective:

No, I don't consider the fact that Obama is not making pronouncements on how he will suspend his campaign to sweep in and clean this up, or saying he's got the answers, a bad thing. Quite the opposite, as I said.

 

Yes McCain was.

Everyone knows Obama is a puppet he listens to his speech writers.



"How did that sound"~Obama

 

McCain who refuses to support any plan until it is a done deal. Way to take a stand and stake out a position. Is he for the House Republican's plan? Is he for the Bush plan? Is he standing aside until the hard work is done?

McCain has become a total pussy.

 

Source?

That'd be swell, except Obama writes a good many of his own speeches, as I already showed you.

As always, don't let the truth get in the way of the movie playing before your eyes.

 

Jon Favreau?

(I know, a different guy)

 

How did you show me? With a link. Give me a break. Source, I seen him rehearsing and go over his lines twenty feet from me. That the source I know. Did you see him write them? You don't know Jack

 

I will be sure to accept your "firsthand" account of being right next to Obama as his bodyguard, especially since you've proven yourself so convincing in every other way. As they say in da Northern parts of da U.S., yasureyabetcha.

As to my providing the link, yep, I did, along with the text of the article. It's what happens in the world, at least one not contained to your brain, Biz. What we don't know, we go elsewhere to find out. This article detailed Obama's process for writing his speeches. While I find myself shocked beyond belief you wouldn't buy anything that portrays Obama as anything other than the janitor you indicated he is, most folks tend to improve their world by reference to more than than the dark regions of their skulls alone.

 

Yeah he was, asked a couple weeks about about what he would do about financial system, he said he would put a commission together and see what would be the best options and he got heavily criticized for that.

 

Well again, one would need to see the exact aspect of both questions side by side to draw a conclusion
