Reply #569: It is one thing for him to stay out of state governing and another

[Marnie]

to not be willing to put himself out for the people that put him in the WH.
That's just stupid.
And would seem to indicate that he is withdrawing from the hard fights and concentration on wonky political theory and algorithms and problems that can be addressed without getting a sweat ring on his collar.

He is so concerned about hurting McConnell and Boehner's feelings that he is willing to bulldoze his supporters to keep the semblance of a happy home life.

That's fine for his home life but politics is a contact sport, and he needs to stop retreating into his own end zone and giving the other team two points because trying to actually move the ball 100 years is just too sweat inducing.

When does he put he become he CIC and tell the military to end the implementation of DADT? Ok he finally got the wonky part done but DADT is still illegally in the military? He is failing the leadership test there and elsewhere.
