This language from the article captures Obama perfectly.

Obama clearly wishes to do good and means well. But he is one of those people who believe that the world was born with the word and exists by means of persuasion, such that there is no person or country that you cannot, by means of logical and moral argument, bring around to your side. He speaks as a teacher, as someone imparting values and generalities appropriate for a Sunday morning sermon, not as a tough-minded leader. He urges that things "must be done" and "should be done" and that "it is time" to do them. As the former president of the Council on Foreign Relations, Les Gelb, put it, there is "the impression that Obama might confuse speeches with policy." Another journalist put it differently when he described Obama as an "NPR [National Public Radio] president who gives wonderful speeches." In other words, he talks the talk but doesn't know how to walk the walk. The Obama presidency has so far been characterized by a well-intentioned but excessive belief in the power of rhetoric with too little appreciation of reality and loyalty.

In the end he's an author, speaker, college professor or Sunday sermon giver, but that's where it ends. There is no question in my mind that he is very smart and is a good man. But he seems to have no ability to lead and execute and what's sickening to me he is embarassed by America's position of power when he needs to use it to lead. Obama was born to talk and therein lies a big problem for us. He speaks near a 10 on a scale of 1-10 and he executes what he speaks somewhere around a 2-3. He then over-reacts like an immature kid to criticisms of his actions or non-actions and he's constantly changing his views of things when it comes time to act. Case in point - Guantanamo is still open, he's not really changed anything that Bush was doing, he's putting troops into Afghanistan and taking them out in the same sentence and we still no longer know where the terrorist trial will take place. Even the healthcare bill was Pelosi's in the end as Obama had given up on it.
