This is a really disturbing- but not surprising article. In particular, this got my attention:

...The funniest story I’ve heard lately came from a former Wall Street executive and longtime Democrat who anxiously recounted a recent conversation with Obama.

The executive said he told the president that he’s at a disadvantage because he’s relatively inexperienced in economic matters during a time of economic crisis. “That’s why I have Valerie,” came Obama’s reply.

“Valerie” is senior adviser Valerie Jarrett — a Chicago real-estate attorney and one of Obama’s closest friends, who has deep ties to the Windy City’s Democratic political machine...

Ah yes, Valerie. The genius at providing pleasant, “affordable” housing to people in need. I’m sure we’ve all seen the photos.

Yep. The ‘one’ is a mere shell. He has surrounded himself with power-minded women, Michelle, Valerie,etc., probably just like Mommy. He’s incapable of original thought, let alone considered judgement. Talk about the absolutely WORST man in the office of president. The only samrt thing he did was ask Gates to stay on. This lightweight belongs nowhere near matters of National Security. Ever.

Thanks for the ping. There is a pattern developing here of Obama not listening to anyone. From his generals in the fields of Afghanistan and Iraq...to his own economic team and Wall Street. It is very disturbing indeed.
