"In a review of the book [Kill or Capture by Daniel Klaidman] in the Wall Street Journal, Mark Moyar quotes a passage that is frighteningly illuminating about the management style of the man upon whom our national security depends.....
Mr. Klaidman depicts a passive commander in chief who often procrastinated in the hopes that problems would go away, a sharp divergence from the engaged and proactive president of the official narrative.Obama's passivity and dilatory approach towards decision-making gave rise to the characterization that he tended to vote "present" when he was a legislator in Illinois. When he became president, his fear of making decisions led one of his own advisers to sum up his foreign and national security policy as one of "leading from behind" [Ed Lasky]
