Exactly. We had a president who made decisions based upon public opinion polls, to the extent he even voted for a welfare reform package he found repugnant.
Now we have a President who takes his case to the people to explain why we should do things. This is not a Dem/Rep. thing. Plenty of Democratic Presidents were actual leaders, its just that clinton/Gore weren't.
By the way, are any of you concerned that nfh's posts are now prior PB posts? That is not a positive reflection on our unique style.
