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Obama election campaign and transition team, speaks out on an administration in crisis, and a president increasingly withdrawn from the job of President.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.

He was bitching about his waffle, even then...
That is one of my top five favorite movies of all time.
That is a stunning scene, and I never fail to feel sadness at the all too human spectacle of a public meltdown as it is portrayed. That movie is a great treatise on leadership and the concept of teamwork.
WHO AM I?
I was born in one country, raised in another.. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my strugges growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30's then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego. At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope' , together we could change our country and the world.
So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined these people I associated with.
I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.
Who am I? .........
ADOLPH HITLER!
Who did you think I was talking about?
Agreed and Hillary will get the democratic nomination after Obama decides to step down in 2012. Obama will then become the leader of the United Nations and will fulfill prophecy as the AntiChrist
C’mon, O. Go for Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover’s old records. Yes, we can.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but then I got to the part about sports. Only someone on the inside could possible know this. And the stuff about him and Miss Obama. Theres rumors about problems for a while. I thought, Miss Obama going on holiday during her husband’s birthday party seem pretty wierd
.....I’ll tell you this – if you want to see President Obama get excited about a conversation, turn it to sports......
Basket ball and watermelon..... mmm mmm mmm
This may be the Clinton’s, like others have suggested, but here’s another thought to throw out. This may be a desperate attempt by some congressional dems to undo the damage before the election by making it appear that the dems have gotten the message of the American people. They are ‘admitting’ that the left took them over the cliff..yet it took the dems in congress, signing all the marxist bills to make it happen. If it is an attempt to get the independents and Reagan democrats back in the game, I don’t think it’s going to work. It sure rings true though.
Bayh stepped down because he didn’t want to be a part...I’m tending toward Daley like Maggie f. THe Daley’s are in survival mode. With Blank-O trial coming up and much possible exposure of WH there, Daley’s know too much and may even turn States evidence to protect their own.
Prepare for all he11 to break loose. Rats desert ship is the first sign it’s going down.

I should have said the third photo, but I'm guessing that's what you're (and I am) referring to. It could well be drugs, even prescription drugs. There have been rumours that he is not handling stress well. It seems that Michelle is also unhappy.
He looks as nutty as a fruitcake in photo number three.
What a dunce I am. :) LOL!
What’s in for Daley to “leak”? Is he a Hillary Clinton man?
I see the Blago connection and the need to distance. All intriguing., I’ll say that...lol. It’s probably a lower level gossipy guy, but that’s speculation too.
What’s in for Daley to “leak”?
Not sure what your question is....OTOH if there is treason going down AM sure Daley would NOT want to be a part of it in any way. He may be a crook, but he’s a patriotic one.
IF there is any actual person who leaked this- and I’m tending now towards it being a pretend insider- my guess is it’s Peter Orzag- who left the administration 30 July.
I had a chat with my friend in D.C yesterday who says whether or not this is an interview with an ACTUAL person - it fits with everything he’s heard about what BO is like- and how things are going in the White House. No revelation there- it’s what we’ve all been saying- but he’s got sources I don’t have.
That makes the most sense to me.
