Holding us back
Hi, I understand what it means but I don't know about what it "holds back"? Hope my question is clear 
"In Washington right now, we don’t see the kind of leadership that would give us faith,”
Obama continued. “It’s the timidity, the smallness of our
politics that are holding us back.”
