Obama:Politics before leadership (part 7)

Yet more of the same, putting politics ahead of leadership because it suits his agenda, and his narrative.

Obama: Politics before leadership (part 6)

Obama wants transparency for everyone but himself and his departments.  The video below is humorous if you look past the sheer lunacy of the circumstances.

Obama: Politics before leadership (part 5)

Politics before leadership yet again. In one video, with a Tea Party versus Occupy Wall Street lead-in, there are a series of Obama hypocrisies laid out in a few short minutes. All because he wants to be re-elected more than he wants to lead (at least that is, until after he's re-elected).

Newt Gingrich catches out Obama's corporate tax loopholes hypocrisy - a bold-faced  putting of politics before leadership if ever there was one.

Obama: Politics before leadership (part 3)

President Obama's rules for thee but not for me.  Re-election is about politics before leadership. Watch and see.

Obama: Politics before leadership (part 2)

Another reminder about what motivates president Obama more than leadership - politics.  In this case, afraid to do something about a brutal Iranian regime, the president still tries to come across as thoughtful and nuanced and strong.  Why?  Because what happens in Iran doesn't matter as much as how it impacts the president at home.  If that wasn't the case, why was Egypt handled differently?  Or Libya?  Because Obama had to come across as both sensitive to the freedoms of others and also a little tougher than before.

First Iran;

Then Egypt, when Obama was still stinging from doing nothing during the Iranian Green Revolution;

And finally, Libya which he somehow sees as different than both Egypt and Iran;

Why the inconsistencies?  Oh right, this:

And the politics before leadership motif.

With president Obama surging in the polls, now might be a good time to remind people of why he doesn't deserve re-election next year.

Let's start with Senior foreign policy advisor for Barack Obama and a little reminder of which Democrat is ready to handle a crisis;

And next, an example of a crisis unfolding, over months, with nary a cogent response from the Obama administration.

Politics before leadership, it doesn't matter how bad it gets, make sure you look good.
