Outstanding article. Thanks for posting.
Obama never listens to anyone but himself. He thinks he is the smartest person in the room, even infallible. He’s a pathological narcissist and an arrogant elitist.
Great leaders are usually very good listeners. They absorb, process, and decide. Just sayin...
Remember his first days in office? "We don't want the people who created this mess to be doing a lot of talking", iirc.
Yup, he designated a whole segment of interested parties as the ones who "created the mess" and shut them down at the outset. In consequence, I have listened to nothing he has said since.
