Do you who think Obama is just being too timid have any notion WHY he is not 'taking on the Republicans head on' and acting like FDR or LBJ?

SURELY Obama reads what we read and hears the TV pundits going *tsk, tsk* at his non-confrontational techniques. He MUST have mulled over the options in his head a hundred times. There are dozens of elements in any equation about dueling with this rabid bunch of far right-wing idiots....and I repeat, Obama is not dumb!

I have several ideas about what he is dealing with...both behind the scenes and what we can see. I just have a notion that he has plans. We shall see, hmmm? I certainly don't think that having MSNBC nudge him everyday is going to make him call them and explain his strategy.
