A longtime Washington D.C. insider, and former advisor to the Obama election campaign and transition team, speaks out on an administration in crisis, and a president increasingly withdrawn from the job of President.
2008 gave America an incredibly charismatic candidate for President of the United States. Speech after speech showed a candidate with increasing momentum as primary race after primary race concluded. And then came the nomination, more speeches, culminating in an election night victory.
According to the person sitting across from me, those were incredibly exciting times, even for one who had been a participant with three previous presidential hopefuls. Barack Obama appeared to move from one city to the next effortlessly, gaining confidence and motivation with each campaign stop. He was remarkable to watch. He took the script, elevated it with his oration, left the crowds screaming for more, and then would do it all over again, time after time after time. On the campaign trail, Obama is a machine.

How can they tell when no one knows what “is” is in Washington, let alone what “it” is... and did he ever have “it” in the first place? And just WTF is “it” anyway?
“Speech after speech showed a candidate with increasing momentum as primary race after primary race concluded.”
False. Obama did good - very good - in caucus states. He’d have lost the nomination if he had to rely on states where voters voted in private.
And he ran out of steam part way. He crawled across the finish line for the nomination, and had to be carried from there to the general election by the lapdog media.
Narcissist Crisis/Meltdown.
Notice they mention that he obsesses over the news about him? Dr. Vankin was spot on.
The plan was to increase their control of the House and Senate this year.
He was an empty suit in 2008 and he’s an empty suit now. Nuff said.
Tough gig for a first job.
“Ah, but the strawberries. That’s where I had them...”
Another blog pimp passing “breaking news alerts”?
When they can have the video or audio of this “White House Insider”...let us know.
Until then, stop breaking our ballz!
Too good to be true.
When he occupied the office of president he had never run anything of substance in his entire life.
And he still hasn’t.
Losing it?
I have never seen any evidence he “had it.”
I actually believe he is dealing with some mental issues since taking on the job. Once the country turned on him last year and rejected Obamacare and him, I believe he has lost touch with reality.
The president came into office with exactly ZERO management or executive experience. He’s probably the first president in history with no management experience.
President Eisenhower had never served in elective office before becoming president, but, I think his service as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, and planning and executing the Normandy invasion, gave him some good executive experience.
So the president was elected to a job which is over his head. It’s above his pay grade. He doesn’t know how to be a leader or a manager. He likely doesn’t know how to delegate responsibility. He doesn’t know how to accept responsibility for things which go wrong. He can’t handle the fishbowl / pressure cooker environment of the White House.
Due to his liberal elitism, he can’t understand why people cling to guns and religion. He doesn’t understand “middle America”. He thinks that liberal/radical ideas are so obviously the solutions to our problems, that he can’t conceive of why so many in “middle America” are opposed to his ideas.
And then he’s totally confused as to why Porkulus didn’t stimulate the economy the way it was supposed to. He is caught flat footed by events out of his control, such as the Gulf oil spill. In that case, he didn’t know what to do or what was expected of him. And he doesn’t realize that criticism goes with the political territory. The higher the office you hold, the more political enemies will attack you. Because of his liberal elitism, he can’t comprehend why anyone would oppose what he tries to do. He says he adds Republican ideas to the healthcare bill, and is surprised that this doesn’t placate his political opponents.
I could go on and on with this. He just didn’t understand what he was getting himself into.
I think he's either not going to run again in 2012 or Hillary is going to beat him.
I’m happy to hear the truth about Obama, but how credible is Newsflavor? sd

We don't know the pedigree of the "insider," and the really juicy stuff is all 2nd-hand at best.
The whole tone reminds me of Bill Clinton's "purple-faced rage."
