He's a classic Robber-Baron CEO, the same kind that brought our economy to ruin even before insane militarism and war-mongering bankrupt us totally. Like all modern uber-corrupt CEOs, he thrives by robbing the workers (taxpayers) blind and running the company (nation) into collapse, while living the high life on OPM with his corrupt cronies.
None of either upper class (business or political) have ever paid ANY dues, or come up through the ranks by sheer merit. They were given leadership positions because of their appearance, and their unwavering arrogance. They'll never notice they are wrong--no matter how much the real-world results scream DISASTER!--because Narcissists think they simply can never be wrong, by definition. They are Gods in their own minds, and Obama unfortunately also fits the ideal of a political/religious 2nd Coming of Christ.
In our modern society, we have given total power to narcissists because we are still nothing but large primates, looking for the most arrogant chest-thumping silverback on the mountain to cow-tow to. So we choose arrogant narcissists to lead us, because they actually think they are always right (while the true intellectual knows that there is much he doesn't understand).
Big Business and Big Government are perfect examples of taking functional organizations to such obscenely large sizes that they are no longer functional, sane, or productive in any way. They are both just systems to enslave productive people, while transferring all the wealth to the non-productive, and the sociopathic arrogant Narcissist leadership elite.
Until humans learn to understand basic logic and analysis skills, and also learn to separate arrogance and Narcissism from competence and productivity, we will continue to follow the worst possible leaders. The current state of our nation and our economy are the prices we pay for our absolutely horrendous choices of leadership.
In fact, our current systems are so effective in choosing the worst possible leaders has reached such levels that a random lottery among productive workers would be far superior as a method to choose both CEOs, and Presidents. At least by limiting the lottery to "productive workers," we'd rule out 100% of our current politicians (who never worked a day in a real job in their lives), as well as 100% of the Narcissist Robber-Baron CEOs that are so traitorous to America that they consciously decided to send America's jobs and manufacturing industry to other nations, and destroy the Middle Class that made them incredibly rich.
Guaranteed a random lottery of leadership in both government and private business would turn around our nation within the next two years, at most. I know of no productive workers who would continue bankrupting our nation with insane war-mongering and endless government spending, and I know of no productive workers who would constantly layoff employees while giving all the profits to a do-nothing CEO that hasn't a clue what the business actually does.
Being a CEO and being president are to very different things. Being a CEO would be a lot easier and more fun. CEO's get to act more like kings. They make a decision and then it gets done. Government and Congress move at a glacial pace and are slow to react to problems.
