I think this anecdote about the book "The Escape Artists: How Obama’s Team Fumbled the Recovery" is telling:

Energy was a particular obsession of the president-elect’s, and therefore a particular source of frustration.

I’m about ready to stop posting comments about owebama. I mean, what can one add to these reports of utter incompetence, arrogance, narcissistic behavior, sociopathic tendencies, and the fact that he’s just plan evil.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Labor Force Participation Rates remain near 30-year lows. They probably won’t release his grade...
