Washington is headed toward another budget battle. They must find a way to control the debt. At best, a compromise will be difficult with such a deep divide between the parties. Leadership is needed in order to come to some agreement.

Our President sat back and let the “Super” Committee take the job. A small group of hand picked legislators where given the task to do what the Constitution tells us all of Congress must do. They have failed.

The job of a leader is not to micro-manage…and God knows that is not Barack Obama’s biggest failing…but a leader must know when his team is headed in the wrong direction. It is the leader that keeps the team working toward a successful solution.

Months ago, Newt Gingrinch said the Super Committee would not work. He was right. We can’t know if he would have been able to find a solution…but it was apparent from the beginning that the President chosen path would end in failure. It makes you wonder if his critics are correct when they claim that is what he wanted all along.
