Don't you know Matthews is so secretly disappointed everyone is figuring out his dream guy is lacking in leadership skills, I wonder when he's going to catch on.

He doesn't lack leadership skill so much as the constitution to impose his will. He constantly seeks consensus, even where there is none to be had. He isn't the head-knocking type, unfortunately.

I wish he had the stones to scrap the current healthcare bill and start over with something more akin to what Warren Buffett thinks is necessary.

Anyone else catch this?

That's about the best definition of "Lack of Leadership" I have ever seen.

Parse all you like.  As I said, he's lacking in leadership skills, you simply softened the blow.

It's not that he lacks leadership skills, it's just that he would rather have other people make decisions for him, and on the decisions that he does make he wants others to own the failure.

OMG!  It's. . .
