I know Bush has a deserved reputation for not looking advise outside small group of advisors.

The last thing anyone wants is another isolated presidency.
I guess Obama is taking this to heart;

300-person foreign policy campaign bureaucracy, organized like a mini State Department, to assist a candidate whose limited national security experience remains a concern to many voters.

So he is an actual puppet they admit it. He is sent two emails each moring from others who read about what is happing in the world (because we all know puppets can't read) and not only do they tell him what is happening all over the world they give him a list a questions with the appropriate answers. I used to call that Cliff Notes Professor's called it cheating. This is the canidate the dems picked. HAHAHAHAHAHA Geez at least Hilliary could read.

Scary and very disturbing. 300 people advising him on foreign policy, feeding him crib notes and he's not even president yet. How many advisors will he need to function as president? And are the US taxpayers supposed to pay for all of them?

I'm sorry but a man who becomes editor of the Harvard Law Review and teaches Constitutional Law at the Univ of Chicago (one of the greatest law schools in the world), THEN beats a frontrunner for the nomination even though she was backed by her 2-term and popular ex-president husband, the media, and initially all the political bigwigs and insiders...a man who happens to be black in a country that gives less consideration to blacks...a man who delivered one of the greatest speeches on race in recent memory, a speech he wrote himself....a man who annihilated the favored Hillary Clinton in 22 debates...a man of tremendous dignity, intelligence, versatility, and class....a man who has proven to be a brilliant strategist...a man of the utmost and highest character who has revealed himself not only through two books but under more scrutiny than any candidate in history...a man who speaks with ease about any issue of concern...this is a great man and the next President.

Sorry but I believe YOU are talking about the village idiot, Dubya.

Well, see, contrary to what you've been spoon fed the last 8 years the president should NOT be a dictator, not the sole "decider". However, the last 8 years the president has had "advisors"(bosses) like Rumsfeld, DICK Cheney, and David Addington, who tried everything in their considerable power to make this country an apparent dictatorship.

I'm glad Obama knows that one person shouldn't be making decisions, one person does not know everything and, unlike the current president, has the intellect to seek advice from many sources.....

A lot of advisors does not necessarily mean good advising.
