This is easy to say with the benefit of hindsight but I think it once again points out how very important style of leadership that is the way he does what he does is to his perception.

President Bush has shown great leadership. He has said that the 21st century will not be ruled or dictated by terrorists dictators and murderers. He is absolutely right. God bless him for his resolve.

China and India will take the global leadership on climate change: they are suffering for it.

Real leadership is leaders recognizing that they serve the people that they lead.

We've been sitting at the compromise table for a long time. We're just waiting for that cold chair to be warmed up by the Republican leadership. They still have time to do the right thing and be responsible. They just seem to be moving further and further away from it.

Aren't we at the point where the closer we get to chaos the more concern that there should be about coming to the table and compromising with Democrats? This is not leadership. This is almost like dictatorship.

Unfortunately the Republican leadership in the House right now seems to have been strangled by the tea party.

Democrats are going to proudly run on the fact that we turned the economy around. It was our policies under President Obama's leadership through the Recovery Act through investing in the automobile industry.

The fact is when it comes to economic leadership the Republicans have nothing to brag about. This isn't what the American people want. They want to see progress that works for them.

I think Chinese leadership is trying to tell the world they have another set of logic or reasoning or values which are different from yours. Of course I don't think they believe that. It's just an argument that's made when you can't confront the truth and facts. They really want to maintain power.
