Former Administration Insider Skewers Obama National Security Another Obama insider has stepped forward to write another book that tells the same familiar story, of a selfish President paranoid and highly secretive, eerily dependent upon a small cabal of White House political advisers with no experience in government but specialists in politics and public relations. A President whose actions from start to finish are guided, not by the country's well-being but solely by politics and his own selfishness. Is anyone surprised? Worse, Obama keeps highly skilled people experienced in problem solving at arm's length. Hillary Clinton for one - with a wealth of experience in government and getting things done, Obama distanced himself from Mrs Clinton because he feels threatened by her popularity. Don't know of the book mentions Obama's illegal Cayman Island's bank accounts. But this books mirrors others, like Bob Woodward's book which all but accused Barack Obama of being incompetent.
At first, I read that as impotent. Selective reading, a bad habit of mine. Although, I guess, for that sentence the two are interchangeable. (Not that I have any particular view on Obama, as he's not my president.)
