In mid-February 2008, fresh from winning a bunch of Super Tuesday primaries, Barack Obama granted an interview to "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Croft. "When you sit down and you look at [your] resume," Croft said to Obama, "there's no executive experience, and in fact, correct if I'm wrong, the only thing that you've actually run was the Harvard Law
Review.

Well, I've run my Senate office, and I've run this campaign," Obama said.

Yeah, I think Richard Nixon would have been able to "of" sealed that leak in a week.

Obama just might be evidence of that elusive weak leak.

I apologize for that right there.

Does the word lackadaisical describe?
That is when it comes to "problems" but not when he is doing what he set out to do, lot of interest in that.
I do not know if it is true but I read once that Michelle said when it came to Christmas presents, he wanted to give so many things but never got around to actually doing it.

Who is so foolish to believe the Commander in Chief decides on his own? He always depends on experts doing the research for him in the background, it is team work and the president is the one who takes the blame should a decision turn out to have been wrong.

Good intentions are easy. True leadership is hard.

CNN had a story this morning about the oil spill putting 400,000 out of work, but Obama's decision to curtail oil operations in the Gulf have put an additional 100,000 out of work in Louisiana.

Just when it hurts the worst. But I'm sure they appreciate his good intentions.

That is even more team work, I don't think he knows all the details of the health system, it is much too complex for someone who has so little time. He knows a bit of everything, but is no expert on anything, that's why he has an army of experts, who, hopefully, do their work well.
