Barry's not leading. He's running again. It's all he knows how to do.
But he's tried, goodness yes, he's tried. He's bringing troops out of Iraq, focusing attention on Afghanistan, helping to bomb the hell out of Libya (and our American economy) - but he needs more time.
Between golfing, doing tv appearances, and campaigning, there just isn't a lot of time left to focus on those other issues. He just needs more time. Everything'll be fine.
