Obama said I think that I'm a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I'll tell you right now that I'm gonna think I'm a better political director than my political director."

My God, he sounds like Jimmy Carter's (illegimate) son. I wonder if he really said something that dumb-that's the kind of rhetoric politicians usually avoid because nine time out of ten it comes back to bite you in the ass.

President Carter micromanaged to the point of handling the schedule for the White House tennis courts, IIRC. If Junior tries that he’ll have a stroke in six months. Remember, Mr. Carter was a nuclear submariner under Admiral Hyman Rickover, reputed to be the hardest taskmaster in U.S. military history, with the possible exceptions of Generals McArthur, Von Stueben, Patton and Pershing and Admiral Halsey.

Yeah, kind of his version of ‘the buck stops here”, only he always passes the buck (or it’s “above his pay grade”) when he can’t emerge as perfection on something. If he’s the smartest cookie in the jar, then can we assume that he’ll take full credit, and blame, for all his decisions?
