Chuck Todd: Obama Is Afraid to Lead

Friday after the British parliament voted to join the United States in the fight against ISIS, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd criticized President Barack Obama for not leading by bringing back the Congress for a vote on a war resolution because he is “afraid of the political consequences.”

Todd said, “This is a man, [Obama] who said he wanted to get rid of the war authorization and have a new one. You want to know why there is mistrust in Washington and a lack of faith with both parties? It’s moments like this, a big moment and you refuse to deal with it because you are afraid of the political consequences.”
