Is Barrack Obama a successful Machiavellian leader? part 2

Barrack Obama to some is a great leader and to others a bad one. In the case of Machiavelli , a man from back in the day who wrote a piece about how to be successful leader, President Obama seems to be an okay leader. Obama follows many of Machiavelli's points. For example Machiavelli states to be successful one must never lets his guard down even more in peace time than in war. Obama has done this by tightening up security at airports and many other things during non terrorist affairs. Machiavelli also states that you should apply yourself exclusively to your province. This is shown in Obama's speech by deciding to pull the troops out of Iraq and by stating that it is time for America to get back on its feet and by putting back people to work here at home was in his speech on December 1st, 2009. A Machiavellian trait that I would say failed Obama is that you have to try to blend into the last government so you don't get alot of high expectations for being new. Obama did not do this instead he portrayed himself as a perfect hero who was here to save us all. But when he really was not quickly saving us people started to lose respect and hope in Obama, hence his decreasing poll numbers. He lost alot when he issued the health bill which did not blend in with the previous president which would be another Machiavellian trait that Obama failed. Therefore Barrack Obama has good Machiavellian points and bad points too.
