where's the fierce urgency?

As President continues to struggle along with his presidency , I think the greateest fault in his leadership has been the lack of the fierce urgency of now! Something that he championed and ran on as a candidate. Since assuming the office we have very rarely, if at all, seen urgency from the Obama administrration on ANY issue, from health care to Unemployment! And if this what the president terms fierce urgency as it pertains to the debt ceiling, then he has a serious problem with his message and how he is conveying it! The fierce urgency of now has been completely co-opted by the republicans and Unless the president can grasp that concept, and come down from the mount where everything is a "teachable moment" he will have a very hard election road to hoe!!!
