re: "Why can't either of them ACT like a Leader?"

re: "...makes me question their ability to hold the office of POTUS."
Not true. You question their ability to hold the office because they aren't members of your club.
If you tried to be objective, you'd (1) be aware of your bias and try to fight it since it inclines you to make bad decisions, and (2) you'd realize that there are even more glaring reasons why Obummer doesn't have the ability to hold the office of POTUS. (His political inexperience.. his total lack of executive skill... his fondness for theory over practicality... his lack of clarity... strong evidence of his corruption/ties to criminals... his success in the Chicago political machine, etc.)
