Bottom line - this President wants the perks of the Presidency, including world class treatment, fawning press, fawning world, etc., but wants nothing to do with the day to day work required to make intelligent decisions. His approach is “my way” without taking time to consider that “his way” may not be the best way. He is lazy, arrogant and is really nothing more than a puppet for the mob and the Chicago way. He resents anything remotely resembling work and would rather golf and dine with world leaders than be consigned to the drudgery that is required to make a truly great leader.
The author left out Obama's most important support system, the quislings in the MSM. Even with the few articles that are now seeping out about his failing presidency, in the end Obama knows they will never abandon him even if the electorate does.
If Obama is aloof and uninterested in the drudge work needed to push his agenda, we should all be thankful.
What if Obama were a roaring freight train like Lyndon Baines Johnson? LBJ was already an experienced senator then Senate majority leader, spent a hiatus as VP then following the JFK assassination jumped into the saddle and took off, dragging Congress behind him. Cajoling, pressuring, armtwisting, LBJ did it all pushing liberal legislation through like a flood. Unfortunately for LBJ, this included escalating the Vietnam war until his entire presidency choked on it and he chose not to seek a second term. The train wreck known as the late Sixties followed in his wake.
Again, let us be grateful that Obama is no LBJ.
