"Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President" by Ron Suskind, to be published tomorrow, could not have come at a worse time for Mr Obama. His popularity remains in the doldrums, he is struggling to implement a new economic plan and he faces a tough challenge to be re-elected next year.
Larry Summers, a former top economic adviser is quoted as telling Peter Orszag, then Mr Obama's budget director, at a dinner in Washington's Bombay Club: "We're home alone. There's no adult in charge. Clinton would never have made these mistakes." Mr Summers was US Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton.
Mr Orszag is quoted as telling the author: "Larry just didn't think the president knew what he was deciding."
Anita Dunn, a former Obama communications director, is quoted as saying that "looking back, this place would be in court for a hostile workplace ... Because it actually fits all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace for women."

It other news, water’s still wet, the Pope is still Catholic and bears to indeed...
Obama is trying to create the class warfare but I think a lot of people out of work will think more in lines of “why would anyone tax the people that could be paying me?”.
Obama is now saying that there is no hope for the poor and unemployed so he'll attack the better off.
This is what happens when you hire an OJT president. The lesson here is, in the future a President has to have run something other than his mouth prior to assuming office.
Heh. This, coming from a woman who idolizes Mao.
Whatever.
It’s always good when the Communist eat their own.
Bttt
This can’t be true, quick contact ATTACKWATCH.com
He does have a dream of completely destroying this country to be remade in a socialist/communist utopia, that only exists in his feeble brain. He is just smart enough to appoint people who are evil and smart enough to tell him what to do. Just look at all his appointments. Can you find even one who is not a socialist/communists?
These are the people who are pulling his strings, he trusts them to implement the destruction of our country and so far, they are doing a bang up job of it.
The man does not have the brain power to do it otherwise.
Listen to Obama talk, the man is of low intelligence, it's not hard to spot.
Thought about getting the book but hate to promote the man in any way. Besides I can tell he’s an idiot without a book.
What makes Mr. Summers think these were "mistakes?"
Who could listen to him speak and not think he’s an idiot. My 4 year old uses more appropriate voice inflection.
The ghetto loved him because he could speak their language. The Democrats loved him because he could change into the mold they desired. The world loved him because he was willing to throw Israel under the bus and tell them that America is the bad guys. The Greens loved him because they knew he would destroy the energy sector.
B. Hussein’s handlers have decided he is a liability so they are beginning the effort to slowly discredit him. The “dims” and the powers that be want obama out and that is the ONLY reason some of the MSM are starting to make noise about obama being incompetent.
I think it is a mistake to view this creature as an idiot, in reality, he is a hero for the bitter, envious countries in the world how to rape, dismantle and destroy our country from within.
Even though they are drowning in the swamp because of our demise, they will cheer this creature and declare...at least America is getting their just reward.
Nikita Krushchev, if he were alive today, would be slamming his shoe on the table in the UN and declaring...’THAT”S what I’M talkin’ about’.
Great post but I would add that the Lefties are blaming Obama for failing to properly implement their socialist/Marxist agenda. The MSM and the Left are not blaming the failed policy/ideology itself. IMO Obama has been a perfect left wing President for "them." He has "accomplished" a lot for the Leftist cause in 2 years. They don't see it that way though.
Loved the comments:

“I suspect he’ll be a one termer...but like Carter/Clinton..he’ll never shut the F up. One nice thing about Republican Presidents is when there out of office they don’t do any damage, they just gracefully fade into the background. And when they do surface it’s with dignity and class.”
Ha!!!
“O” will make as bad an x President as he does a President!!
