I thought, looking at it, that this was a "showroom" office. There was nothing to indicate that any work was actually accomplished there. I'd have liked to have seen his staffer's desks by comparison.

There is no substance.

An article which examined Obama's entire job history -- it was by either Byron York or Stanley Kurtz -- recorded a clear pattern. Obama would take a job -- economic analyst, attorney, community organizer, foundation board member, state senator, US senator, etc. -- and immediately complain that he couldn't get anything done...because he didn't have enough "power".

Thus, the next step up the career ladder -- in search of more "power". Which, of course, also proved to invest him with insufficient power to do what he wanted.

Clearly, this is a man who has no understanding of "power" and where it comes from. To him, "power" is a cloak of office. It isn't earned, it's assumed by virtue of position.

As a concept, leadership is meaningless; persuasion is unneccessary. "Power" is the force majeure to decree what one wants.

The man has the arrogance and ego of a totalitarian. And he has the maturity and judgment of an adolescent.

These are dangerous times.
