Others who worked with Obama reached similar conclusions. He doesnt listen to anyone, a former top economic aide told a friend. Outsiders invited to meet with him concluded it was all for show, that he was not interested in what they had to say.
That he rarely talks to congressional leaders, including fellow Democrats, has become such a staple of Washington that it has ceased to be news. He apparently believes it is beneath him to consult or get into the details of legislation.
Then again, he doesnt talk to members of his Cabinet much either, so hes consistent in his isolation. He reportedly watched last years Super Bowl alone.
All of which begs the initial question: Whats to like about Barack Obama? Sure, hes got that big smile and the cool factor of being young and the first black president, but is that all there is? And is it enough?
Consider that, in a nation where millions are out of work with no hope of finding any, and where America faces serious security threats, we have a president who cant handle criticism or disagreement, and who marches only to the drummer in his head.
His estrangement echoes Herman Melvilles protagonist in Bartleby, the Scrivener, the mysterious oddball who answers work requests with, I would prefer not to.
But lets give Obama his greatest due. He did manage to get elected president, which means he fooled more than half the people once. As one of those suckers in 2008, Im still wondering how he hid that contempt from so many people for so long.

Obama is a front man for his “syndicate” of socialist/marxist Czars who are making all the decisions for our country.
I belive this would explain his lack of speaking skills without the telepromter, and his consistent war on the “rich” and on all matters capitalistic.
I have always believed that part of his pathology is a resentment of heterosexual people.
Fox just reported that he called Romney “a bullsh*tter” in an interview.
This is the leader of the Free World?
Classless cretin.
Yep classless is an understatement!
Thank you, I agree with you. I have said that one thing Obama can never do is disappoint me because no matter how bad he is it is no worse than I expected of him. I also do not accuse him of hiding his intentions even though he is an amazing liar. He made it plain what he intended if a person simply looked at him without the rose colored glasses. I imagine him as Brutus who would now say, “I told you I came to bury this country, not to praise it.”
He ran as a blank slate, who turned out to be an empty chair.
That’s actually pretty good analysis. Perhaps you are correct. I still think if the senate was on record embracing those budgets Obama sent up year after year, they would have a much tougher time holding the senate. With that said, perhaps we are both right.
He offered the nation the moon...and then mooned the nation.;-)
Good one! You have full comprehension of my sense of humor. LOL
