obama’s comment about leading from behind seems consistent with a need to not be responsible for the actions taken by the person leading. The (in)plausible deniability attitude provides a self-attributed excuse why something does not achieve what they proclaim will be the result. The mental conflict is demonstrated by then proclaiming “you didn’t build that”. Quite ironically he proclaims someone else is in front guiding him but on the other hand that person will not have accomplished (built) the result. It may be called a mental dysphoria. To be blunt the rationalizing process presents as a mental illness or psychosis.
Note: obama has a history of voting “present” and not selecting Yes or No. It could be said that voting present is a different expression of leading from behind.

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
