Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who served during the Obama administration, has turned into a harsh critic of the president, saying that Barack Obama always thinks he's the smartest person in the room.
Gates also bashed Obama for bringing on advisers who do little else but constantly agree with his proposals, fostering a group-think environment where dissenting opinion essentially does not exist, The Free Beacon reports. In other words, there are no "strong" people around the president. And when there is dissent, Obama tries to crush it. Back in October, Politico reported that Obama's advisers urged him to deal with Syria more aggressively, but the president refused to listen to advice. Now, the administration has been forced to acquiesce to Russian demands that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remain in power. Additionally, Russian airstrikes, which have proved to be far more effective than U.S. strikes, continue to stomp on the Obama administration's foreign policy objectives.
"You know, the president is quoted as having said at one point to his staff, 'I can do every one of your jobs better than you can,'" Gates told Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC's Morning Joe, on Tuesday.

The sad thing is that ALL of the mainstream media also thinks he is.
A common characteristic of absolute idiots.
Well, to be fair, in some instances (such as when he meets with Lynch and Biden) it happens to be true.
But he is.
If it's Romper Room.
a closet maybe....
Obama’s ego is definitely the biggest in the room. He surrounds himself with sycophants whose only jobs are to stroke Obama’s ego and agree with him.
To which he responded that cars going 70 miles per tank would be against the laws of physics.
To which the nit replied: We will have to change those laws.
Muslims are taught that they’re Superior to everyone else
We’re talking about a high school stoner who was affirmative actioned through every stage of his life and who sounds retarded away from a teleprompter.
You mean he’s NOT?!!
You mean President Fumblebutt is arrogant?
Yeah, and he coulda been in the NBA, too!
Except he put up so many bricks on the basketball court that they made him join the bricklayers Union.
Sounds to me you meant 70 miles per GALLON rather than per tank. That is against the laws of physics for an internal combustion engine that typically loses 2/3 of fuel energy through heat lost.
If they REALLY said 70 miles per tank, there should not be a problem for a 12-cylinder car to accommodate them!
Lib hacks talking to engineers is the mindless talking to the minds.
Jane Craig: No. It's awful.

I think Bob Gates is just jealous of Reggie.
Exactly. owebama suffers from muslim superiority complex. Hmm, I wonder if he is inbred like most of them?
And Donald Trump’s peronality is different from Trump HOW?
Yep - I meant gallon. Thanks for the correction.
They are both malignant narcissists.
You noticed too.
As I’ve posted on here many times, if Caliph Baraq was a 1600 SAT and ripped the GRE and LSATS, those documents would be framed in gold and posted on the walls of the WH Press Room.
The fact that those data (like the Caliph’s golf scores) are more secret than the nuke codes tells the real story.
