I believe that the ideology, philosophy and theology of liberalism progressivism, all the leftism's and all of its mutations is best expressed by paraphrasing bho’s own behavior: instead of “lead from behind” the correct expressions is “live (life) from behind”.
To clarify the phrase “lead from behind” I refer to Nelson Mandela’s use of the phrase with an exactly opposite meaning. Mandela: “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.” But even Mr. Mandela qualified the statement with the use of “especially”. The word “especially” should have been left out of the statement. It reveals a weakness in his full commitment to his own statement. As the phrase is used in relation to bho the implication is that “lead from behind” is relevant regardless of whether there is “danger” or no “danger” involved in the situation. Like all liberal progressive advocates anything can mean everything and conversely everything can mean anything.
The thought “lead from behind” is an oxymoron in the sense that the person who thinks they are “leading” is cognizant of the circumstances and knows what the outcome will be. With regard to human behavior, it is impossible to put the result before the problem. As history has taught us, social behavior is eternally repeated.
“Lead from behind” as used by bho is more an indication of cowardice than of the virtues of courage, benevolence, compassion or consideration.

Goal: Increase knowledge of economic reality preserving life through tariffs war. My hypothesis explained here in an example is the loss of life of passengers on the Titanic. The loss would have been substantially fewer if there had been a tariff of 100% and more on the price of tickets. Recommendation: Adopt the policy to save lives with tariffs by charging only enough tariffs to save 100% of lives. Expect this methodology to work almost perfectly achieving the intent for applying the tariff.
Warning label: Side-effects are certain to result in the diminishment (diminution) of quality or entirety of life. *
Supposition: The side-effect may over time result in a similar amount of life diminution as the actual event that occurred with the iceberg. AN OPINION

The clue woven into the yarn, "history repeats itself" is that the "story" has been told before. Sometimes ingenuity (responsibility) can reveal what the repetition point will be (begin/end) since it is known that the current story is metaphorically, figuratively or elsewise plagiarized from history. The curtain dropping end is the only part of the performance that will happen only once.
Unpredictables shall be called "miracles". They are not foreseeable (predictable), so their effect has a case-by-case impact on the performance of reality.
No such word I predict this moment but not always.
OPINION. Historically consistent. That qualifies me for classification as opinionated.)

Canada has focused on the cow for a hoof in the door of dairy (milk/cheese) supply management*.
U.S. has focused on the steer for a horn in the door of beef supply management*.
Both (all) governments focus on everything it can dream of to force its laws on everyone it can. Each a micro story of the macro rule of man which is evidenced by a propensity to build a Tower of Babel of/to their own cause for survival of man. Particularly the men they know they are themselves.
So, we continue on a trail of our existence.
