Democratic Senators accuse Obama of being laid back, ask him to step up!

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats are growing impatient with President-elect Barack Obama's refusal to inject himself in the major economic crises confronting the country.

Obama has sidestepped some policy questions by saying there is only one president at a time. But the dodge is wearing thin.

"He's going to have to be more assertive than he's been," House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., told consumer advocates Thursday.

...

Presidents-elect typically spend the transition period assembling their cabinets, their White House staff and preparing to take the reins of power. But this transition is occurring at an extraordinary time, with bad economic news mounting by the day and with one of the country's major industries begging for a hand to keep from collapsing.

Two Democratic senators involved in trying to salvage the auto companies have said Obama could help move the process along and should become more engaged.

"The Obama team has to step up," Sen. Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and one of the lead negotiators, said Nov. 21 in Hartford, Conn. "In the minds of the people, this is the Obama administration. I don't think we can wait until January 20."

Two days later, Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, a point man in helping his state's main industry, called on Obama to help resolve the dispute over money for the auto loan package.

"It would be very helpful if the president-elect would become more involved in resolving the issue over the source of the funds," he said. "I want him to offer his assistance. He is a person who can really bring people together."

I'd say that those who are most relaxed are generally the most stressed.

It's only fair for him to gather a team before he could actually do a job. It also requires looking over their record too. That's lots of things involved.

Barney Frank, that old geezer, needs to retire. He forgot the basics of problem solving. You take a step back, look at the problem, and solve it step by step. You can't solve a problem by being unprepared and then just dive into the pool.

Looks like Barney Frank wants to ruin Obama's management by taking advantage of his time assembling his team.
