Is President Obama Tough Enough?

I wanted to come in here and curse all the Republicans. . .everyone of them, they have earned it.  But then I had a second thought, I like their political style. . .very malevolent, fits in with my ego.  I will spare all you Republicans this time for jumping on President Obama with this cruel evaluation.

I watched Aaxelrod's response to Stephanopoulus' query of the President's toughness.  Here is what he said:  As you all know, the President inherited a depressed economy from the previous administration.  What a poussy!  I think Democrats should wear a sign on their backside with the picture of poussy printed on it.  All you Democrats in here, bend over! Oh, he offended me with his sorry ass response.  This goat ran the Obama campaign, did he not see that his candidate would inherit problem if he won the election?  Where is his sense of leadership and accountability?  Fhuck what you inherit, good or bad. . .you shall carry the duties of that office and execute its principles in good faith and with determined passion.  Okay, enough vent, you all can stand up straight now!!   

To Topic. . .Is my President tough enough or not?  First, we need a definition of what is meant here by the word "tough".  So precede your response with your definition of "tough" and then respond to the topic within the context of that definition. 

Sean, how do you define tough?
