Nancy fresh off her latest lobotomy tune-up.

Washington (CNN) – Amid the push for peace in the Middle East and the push for reduced tensions between Russia and the Ukraine, how much has President Barack Obama’s leadership helped mitigate those dire situations?

Two top members of Congress offered starkly different characterizations on Sunday.  While one praised the President’s “strong” leadership, the other accused Obama of being “AWOL,” serving up “passive responses to naked aggression all over the world.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, and South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, a member of the Armed Services Committee, offered their thoughts to CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley during interviews on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Is it bad optics, Pelosi was asked, for the president to attend fundraisers as parts of the world seemingly blow up around him?

“The president’s leadership has been very strong,” Pelosi said, not directly addressing the fundraising.

Pelosi continued, addressing tensions between Israeli forces and Hamas.  On Sunday, Hamas said it agreed to a 24-hour cease-fire, mediated by the United Nations.  Yet Israel resumed its attacks on Gaza on Sunday because of what it called “incessant rocket fire” from Gaza.
