A Leadership Misstep?
No matter how one characterized the news validity of Fox, here was a great opportunity to show a fresh model of leadership. In truth Obama is a leader of ALL the citizens whether they voted for him or not. Leadership is rising above the petty and in this case being willing to work with any group that disagrees or even misrepresents...and even more so to be an available and ready presence to those who are exceptionally vocal. That to me shows courage, grace and true leadership.
Consider leadership in this way...."no matter how you are, I will be this way." You are driven by your own operating philosophy. Strong leadership is not disturbed by challenging thought or even irrational thought. You stand your grown, centered in your own knowing.
This is not to say the President Obama has not done this; however, what his coming from "his house" is not being represented as such as therefore he is being seen that way....at least by this observer.
