President Obama's modus operandi seems to be to blame everyone and everything but himself for his disastrous failures, and to always lead from behind on both foreign and domestic policies.

GOP White House hopeful Tim Pawlenty is scoffing at claims that he's too "nice" and too "bland" to take the political fight to President Obama.
