“A cynic believes there is nothing new under the sun. A skeptic resists gullibility. On the basis of the latter, Mr. Obama does not appear to relish being chief executive.”
Obama only wanted the power and trappings of the presidency so he could go golfing and be adored at fund raisers. He has never wanted to do the job. That is why he lets Valerie Jarret make all the decisions.
So true. These days I wish we had a European-style political system: A mostly-cerimonial President elected by the people, and a powerful Prime Minister chosen by the House.
Of course, that wouldn't have been so good when Bush II was President, and Pelosi was Speaker.
