Durbin: If Obama showed leadership on budget he would be rejected

Even Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), one of the earliest backers of Barack Obama's presidential bid, admits that the president is not a leader. On Meet The Press on Sunday, host David Gregory put forth the proposition that Obama has been "missing when it comes to framing the debate over spending cuts." Which led to Durbin to reply that an Obama plan "would be summarily rejected."
