WOOF! Any Cesar Milan fans out there? All dog lovers know who I’m talking about — his well-earned reputation as a “pack leader” and dog-handling genius is epic on the doggy-walking circuit — the sidewalks and trails and dog parks. But contrary to popular notion amongst the cat-only snobs, the dogless, and the other ignorants, Cesar trains humans, not dogs. He tells us this at the opening of every show on NatGeo. He merely rehabilitates dogs.
Ever the obedient one, I am a subscriber to Cesar’s newsletter, and a column he wrote about political leadership skills — skills which are woefully lacking amongst certain presidents — perked my ears up. He wrote it in response to an uproar stirred-up by a recent CBS News interview, in which Cesar dared to “out” The Anointed One — President Obama — as a pretty lousy pack leader; one who displays an inherent lack of leadership.

Politicos like me instinctively see Obama’s lack of ability to lead a nation.
Here’s the poop: Obama is constantly blaming others for his failures. He is absorbed by self-preservation. And it portends a lack of leadership. Cesar explains:
“An animal pack leader is concerned for the pack, not for himself. It
