It's one thing to make tough decisions, it's much harder to be right

PBO has faced a lot of push back and second guessing from the Right as well as his own party. We all have seen the controversy about Obamacare and the auto bailout. Most accounts are clear on the internal reluctance to go after bin Laden.

The one thing these all have in common is not the risks taken, but that they were the correct thing to do in spite of the odds and opposition. Courage/conviction combined with vision to protect our country and it's people has been a rare commodity in public office for a long time.

W was the decider, but he got everything wrong. Romney has the same mind set, he tout himself as a mover and shaker, but his ideas and instincts are not likely to benefit the majority of the American public or our long term welfare.
