Spinning Clinton vs. Obama


The New York Times: Has an interesting article how POTUS was pushed in to supporting tougher action on Libya, Secretary Clinton was a prime mover in the operation. This is a good article if your Secretary Clinton, not so good if your POTUS, it gives the impression that Secretary Clinton was hawkish and that she had to lead President Obama to see the light. If your in the Obama Court you will see this article as a swipe at a weak leader, who had to be lead to War, rather than a leader that takes command from the start. Lets recall there is a direct historical case study when it comes to Libya, that is Reagan, liberals want to see Obama as a Liberal Reagan, but Reagan was real leader, while POTUS gives the impression that he has to be marched in to doing the right thing by the UK, France and Hillary Clinton, does not help in 2012 folks.
