Check out this picture...tells the same story as this article. Obama fresh in from golfing and clearly out of the loop and not the man in charge like he told the nation. Body language tells it all. Also, all the players are lined up on one side of the table just as Insider said. Obama is weak, unable to make a decision, and disengaged. His own team had to circumvent him in order to get necessary action...

Same outfit he was wearing golfing. I wonder if he still had his golf shoes on.
