Coward.

On this Sunday's "Meet the Press" New York Times columnist David Brooks suggested that President Obama has a "manhood problem" when it comes to foreign policy in the Middle East.  Translated that means that Brooks was calling Obama a coward, but, being a coward himself, he didn't have the courage to say it outright, so in his snide and slimy manner he did what most Republicans do—use a slightly obfuscated synonymous phrase instead of an honest statement. Brooks himself has changed philosophies several times during his career and—unlike Obama—couldn't keep a marriage together, so he, in short, knows all about having a manhood problem not just in the Middle East but everywhere.
