"It will go away"

Imagine this for a moment. 

After 911, George W. Bush organizes campaign rallies, goes off to play golf, and of the threat from Al Qaeda says repeatedly "It will go away" (and then blames the governors for not handling the problem).

Or after Pearl Harbor, FDR had said  "It will go away, you know it is going away, and it will go away, and we're going to have a great victory".

Or after the 2008 Financial Crisis, Obama had said "It will go away, hopefully at the end of the month, and if not, hopefully, it will be soon after that". 

Would we consider that leadership in a time of national crisis? I think not.
