And that sums it up.
Obama lacks the training, the experience and above all the wisdom to address these very serious -in this case, tragic - situations in a way that combines the necessary gravity with both reserve and intensity.
He is a facilitator and a conciliatory figure, but he does not have the qualities or the presence or the power of a leader, and that is what is needed here.
It is not possible to hide that. I don't think it has anything to do with his intentions. He is a lightweight. In that sense he is a more sophisticated, up-market version of Jimmy Carter.
