Blankley on Obama

Tony Blankley is not a person I go to much for analysis or opinion on much of anything. Nevertheless his take on Obama's emerging management style is interesting and, as far as I can see, spot on. He takes four examples we have so far and examines them. Then he gives us four ways to look at what his actions mean. I recommend his piece highly.

Money quotes -

on Gitmo: it was breathtaking that at the signing ceremony, President Obama didn't know how -- or even whether -- his executive order was dealing with this central quandary. (The disposition of the prisoners.)

On what Obama's management style may indicate: his personality type leaves him surprisingly uninterested in things that aren't personally about him.

The second quote goes to one of my primary hunches about this man who is President - a hunch confirmed by ample anecdotal evidence, from debate insults, to over the top set pieces backgrounding speeches. BHO is supremely narcissistic. This is both a danger and, possibly, an asset in a President. A danger if his illusion of himself is confronted and debased by outside events. An asset if he sublimates his deep desire to be adored and uses it as a reason to lead, and lead well.
