I heard an interesting comment on television this morning. It had to do with Reagan firing the Air Traffic Controllers. No one thought he would dare do it, just like no one thought Obama would fire Waggoner. The effect it had with Reagan, and by analogy to Obama is that it scared the beejesus out of anyone who thought he or she could cros him and get away with it.

Obama, unlike Carter and like Reagan, has demonstrated, agree or disagree that he has a pair of steel cojones.
