If this is courtesy of John Podesta, we can be sure that it’s utter pap and misdirection! I didn’t bother reading it, since it is clearly loaded with lies and slanted information designed to mislead the gullible.

"Tom Daschle, John Podesta, Brent Scowcroft, Arianna Huffington, Fareed Zakaria, Katrina vanden Heuvel, John Harris, James Fallows, Chuck Hagel, Strobe Talbott, James Baker, Zbigniew Brzezinski"

When this list of losers is better than the crew running things now you know why we're in such desparate shape.

Actually it’s Socialism. If they were free market capitalists they would probably be succeeding.

So Chicago thugocracy is dragging Obama down. Heck those are some of his closest friends and confidants. I doubt if Obama knows any other way to govern. Bwahahahaha.

"With the exception of Mr Emanuel, who was a senior Democrat in the House of Representatives, all were an integral part of Mr Obama's brilliantly managed campaign. Apart from Mr Gibbs, who is from Alabama, all are Chicagoans - like the president. And barring Richard Nixon's White House, few can think of an administration that has been so dominated by such a small inner circle."

Nope. Rahm Emanuel was not a *senior* Democrat...and he was the architect of 0bama's campaign. The article got both points wrong. For that matter, 0bama didn't even run a well managed campaign...during the campaign itself he broke at least two campaign promises (filibuster Telecom Immunity and use Public campaign funds instead of Wall Street donations).

Notice no real mention of Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, nor of Geithner or various Harvard/Wall Street advisors to 0bama.

Mayor Daley?! Bill Ayers?! Rev Wright?! Tony Rezko?!

Which is to say, the article is bunk...perhaps a trial balloon being floated to see if a "shakeup" in staff will bump 0bama's ratings, who knows.

"He is failing and people need to consider "why". "

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fourth edition, DSM IV-TR, a widely used manual for diagnosing mental disorders, defines narcissistic personality disorder (in Axis II Cluster B) as:[1]

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

4. requires excessive admiration

5. has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

6. is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

7. lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

8. is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her

9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

It is also a requirement of DSM-IV that a diagnosis of any specific personality disorder also satisfies a set of general personality disorder criteria.

I guess if you wanted to tell a good friend that they’re a screw up, a letter written like this article would suffice quite well.

I hope they bring in as many of these idealogues as they want, the more the merrier, until they create an odious turdpile that collapses under its own absurdity. The $120K-$180K salaries of these idiot eggheads might turn out to be the best money the Republic has ever spent if it causes them to spew forth their gobbledygook ideas until even those with 73 IQs can see how stupid it all is. At this point I urge them to proceed with all abandon. Run it right up onto the rocks, s**theads.

Well, it is the Clinton team fighting with the Obama team over our carcass. Podesta’s list of those to be included with his recommendations would add little to handling our predicament. The Dems any way you look at them have NO potentially successful answers to the current debacles arising.

As if this were news. It was apparent on Day One that having Rahm in the White House would be a disaster. I do not recall a more sophmoric person ever serving in the WH. Even Dems in the House and Senate must secretly hate Rahm and probably only voice their disgust in private for fear of a sophmoric retribution campaign from the White House.

Take a look at the campaign of gossipy leaks surrounding New York’s Dem Governor Paterson this week and tell me that Rahm has nothing to do with it in an effort to install his buddy Andrew Cuomo as Governor. The Dem party is in slow motion disintegration.

Reminds me of the tripe that Phil Hendrie spews about how brilliant Obama is but he just unfortunately surrounded himself with incompetents who are bringing him down. Have another bong hit Phil.

0bama will never do this. His Chicago cronies have a hold on him in ways we don’t know. Additionally, 0bama is a narcissist and he will never admit any errors on his part, he will never admit an error in judgement. Notice now how despite the American revulsion to his Health Care plot he is determined to press forward with his stated goals as they are. Nope, things won’t change..I hope his administration goes down in flames.
