Obama is failing as CEO of America, Inc.

CEOs of large organizations all face the same problem – driving their agendas in organizations too diverse and geographically dispersed to manage directly.

They hire competent managers for their units, set goals and establish clear metrics for evaluating performance. As in politics, competition in business is tough, and CEOs must set ethical boundaries for their managers’ conduct.

In all this, the CEO’s personal conduct is critical.

Early in his presidency, Mr. Obama flaunted American constitutional tradition by pushing through major social legislation, ObamaCare, without a bipartisan compromise and consensus. And he relied on a legislative sleight of hand to pass the Senate.

Simply, Mr. Obama’s hard left agenda requires him to treat the Constitution and Congress as mere inconveniences – expediency is his ethical standard.

For example, unable to obtain Congressional ascent, even among moderate Democrats, for limits on CO2 emissions and other environmental goals, the EPA – at his public behest – has written regulations imposing new and onerous requirements on business.

The Obama Credo of Management: We’ll do as we please, stop us if you can.

He doesn't want competent people around him, because he doesn't want anyone interfering with his Supreme Command.

Obama values loyalty far more than competency...just like every communist party member

I hate to break it to you, but the headline combined with the first line in the article do indeed imply that. At least by inference.

Oh, he is failing the God test for sure. But he had no interest in being a successful CEO in the sense that a successful CEO is good for the organiztion he is running....

For crying out loud, his goal is NOT to be the CEO of America...it’s to DESTROY America. And he is succeeding fabulously at his real goal.
