Huntsman on Obama: "A pathology emerges here"

Huntsman: Well, an example would be that when given the first two years to lead out on the economy, he failed to do so. When given a chance to address Afghanistan–drawing down troops when we’ve done everything we can do—he has failed to do so. When he had an opportunity to embrace a bipartisan deficit spending proposal called Simpson-Bowles, it hit the garbage can. You get enough of these, and a kind of a pathology emerges here. People say, there’s no more trust in the executive branch. There was an opportunity to lead, and it wasn’t taken.
