I kind of agree with some of what you said, but Obama seems to have fragmented the responsibilities of the Presidency to various “thinkers”. He has no center, which is why his responses to serious events often appear bewildering. The series of clanks he has delivered in the face of Fort Hood, the uprisings in Iran, the ousting of the Honduran President, the Panty Bomber, the troop level in Afghanistan and even the arrest of Henry Louis Gates betray a lack of center . . . and a snot.
LOL! That's certainly true! But scratch any "progressive" and you'll find a snot. They're arrogant elitists who believe they know best.
