ABC is desperately trying to mend Obama's reputation as a national leaders. Its kind of funny.

This past week,  Bob Woodward gave two interviews on ABC,  one with the immature political flunkie,  a one time Clinton staffer,  George Stephanoplois, the other with Diane Sawyer  (Sept 10, 2012).  Woodward was talking about his most recent book, The Price of Politics.  According to an ABC report, 

 "Woodward's reporting in his new book, "The Price of Politics," reveals a president whom he said lacked the "stamina" in turning personal relationships with congressional leaders into action the way some of his predecessors have done."    "President Clinton, President Reagan. And if you look at them, you can criticize them for lots of things. They by and large worked their will," Woodward told Sawyer."On this, President Obama did not."       (Source:  here at ABCNews) 

And with those words,  Woodward,  an avowed Democrat,  ignited a firestorm.  The truth of the matter is this:  there is a host of qualified and responsible Democrats who see the ineptness of the current Administration,  and the monumental failure that his Obama's unwillingness to lead all parties into a new age of solutions and growth and national pride.  Here is a small portion of  Woodward's interview,  in which Sawyer is trying,  desperately,  to bridge the gap between her sworn duty to protect Obama's reputation (go ahead and tell "it an't so") and Woodward's sharp criticism (in effect) concerning Obama's inability or refusal to lead.   Hear Woodward's defense.
