Ed Rendell: Obama “Wussed Out” On Gun Control - Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell leaves no-one unscathed in his new book "A Nation of Wusses," including his party's own president.  Rendell writes that while on balance President Barack Obama has "definitely not" been a wuss, there was a clear instance in which he "wussed out" — when he decided not to take up gun control legislation after the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabby Giffords.
