Obama, Flailing, Reaches Out For First Term "A-Team" as a Lifeline
— Ace

A book called The Obamas featured this delicious nugget:

Obama had always had a high estimation of his ability to cast and run his operation. When David Plouffe, his campaign manager, first interviewed for a job with him in 2006, the senator gave him a warning: "I think I could probably do every job on the campaign better than the people IÂ’ll hire to do it," he said. "ItÂ’s hard to give up control when thatÂ’s all IÂ’ve known." Obama said nearly the same thing to Patrick Gaspard, whom he hired to be the campaignÂ’s political director. "I think IÂ’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters," Obama told him. "I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And IÂ’ll tell you right now that IÂ’m gonna think IÂ’m a better political director than my political director."

A first-class temperament, they told us in 2007. Plus, a first-class intellect to go with it.

There's an old bit of wisdom -- old, but true -- that the more you know the more you realize you don't know. And conversely, only someone who knows a tiny little bit could possibly be under the illusion he knows it all.

Flash forward to today's story of Zeus throwing down thunderbolts on he whose hubris astonishes even the arrogant gods.

A struggling President Obama is calling for help from members of his first-term A-Team, who have left the White House for other jobs.

With his poll numbers falling and his second-term floundering so far, Obama has sought help from the former aides who helped catapult him to the presidency.

...

One former aide described ObamaÂ’s trusted inner circle from the first term as "the originals," and speculated that if they were still at the White House they could have helped prevent some of ObamaÂ’s second-term blunders, such as the decision Monday to give a fiery speech criticizing Republicans just hours after 12 people were gunned down a few miles away at the Navy Yard.

You could do a better job of political directing than the political director but you didn't know that?

Obama is plainly surrounded by yes-men who are intimidated by him. He's like Elvis at in the declining years. Whatever The King says, that's just a great idea.

"I donÂ’t think he would have made that kind of mistake in the first term," one former administration official said on Tuesday. "Sometimes it feels like thereÂ’s a void over there. There are some new, extraordinary folks over there, but it definitely leaves something to be desired."

But Obama does have some of his Sage Council* remaining.

...

To be sure, Obama has had some of the same faces around him during the second term, including Carney.

Oh well he's just the guy to give it to you straight.

But after a painstaking period of self-criticism and self-examination, Team Obama thinks they've figured out what's been going wrong with them lately.

Surprise! It's the same thing they always say is going wrong with them.

....

Former Obama aides, however, maintain that there has been a messaging problem at the White House ever since Obama won reelection.

Fortunately, there is a cure: They can begin putting out a Message that Obama almost never puts out lately.

And they say that aides need to do a better job reasserting the narrative that Obama is, as one put it, the "aggressive champion of the middle class."

And the Middle Class. No, he never mentions And The Middle Class (ATMC). I mean, sure, he mentioned it for no reason at all in his Syria speech, but he practically never mentions And The Middle Class, apart from Always.

The problem isn't that he doesn't mention it. It's that he doesn't believe it and we all know it. And that's not a Messaging Problem. It's a Priority Problem, or, as we usually call it, just a straight-up Problem.

* Not a misspelling, Spelling Nerds. Usually I say "Sage counsel," as in wise advice.

But now I'm saying he has a Council of Sages. So the change in spelling is appropriate given my change in meaning.

So you just go right ahead and eat a bag of dicks, Spelling Nerds.

There are some new, extraordinary folks over there, but it definitely leaves something to be desired.” Well, let's see.....in his first term he gave a 'shout out' to 'Chief someone' in the audience before addressing the Ft. Hood shooting so um, no....it's just his assholey self.

Anyway, on to the actual commentary.

Ace nails it, except I'd probably note one thing.  In certain cases I'm not sure it's that Obama is stupid per se, but rather so incredibly naïve as to appear stupid.

Take Healthcare Reform. I think Obama actually thought the country would just roll over and accept his new top down model.  Because...Helping or something.

Heck, he was partially right about bribing the states with Medicaid money, some turned (more didn't it seems.)

I wouldn't say "intimidated".  I would say they willingly suck his dick.  Intimidated implies they are in some ways fearful of him.  I disagree and posit that all the people around him worship him and can't even begin to think of acting otherwise.

Last time I got a corneal cut (splinter in the eye from a wood yard) the treatment was "patch and don't open it for a week."

I was a kid so it was awesome (except for the not outside fun, sports or anything else.)

Has it changed much? Of not, patch, don't open it, save yourself the ER copay.

(This is not medical advice and should not be taken as such, I have no liability if you go blind, although generally I try to stay away from ERs)

59 The problem of the Presidency is the President doesn't know when to shut up and lay low. He publically emasculates himself, his office and his Country over Syria and then runs immediately to speechify on the evils of Republicans while they are counting the dead a dozen blocks away. My guess is his media gurus argued that a mass shooting is the best time to rejigger the narrative since major trauma shuts down the brain thus memory. The creepy with this one sets all time highs.

92 BTW, for Ace and others who want the "DC tea leaf translation" of this recent spate of stories about Obama's "second-string/second rate adviser team," I can tell you who DC journalists/insiders/politicos are really thinking of.  I know this because (please don't kill me) I know a couple of them socially and they all talk in the same terms:

1.) Rahm Emmanuel: everybody respected Emmanuel.  He's the guy who helped the Democrats take back the House in 2006, he was Clinton's fixer in the '90s, he's a vulgar hard-charging partisan who is also completely willing to work with moderate Democrats and get them on board for legislative pushes.  You want to know why Obamacare passed despite the Scott Brown election?  Rahm Emmanuel is the reason why.  Now obviously we, as conservatives, hate his guts for that, but on a purely operative level he was respected as a guy who managed to get things done, despite having a boss who is/was thoroughly intransigent.

2.) David Axelrod: again, I know we don't like him.  But talk to anyone across the ideological spectrum in DC politics and you'll find universal respect for the guy's ability to juggle chainsaws, run a campaign, and manage crises.  Policy?  Not so much.

3.) Valerie Jarrett: everybody hates Valerie Jarrett.  But everybody fears Jarrett as well.  It's not an exaggeration or a myth in the slightest to play up her influence as an advisor and gatekeeper to Obama: she's Wormtongue and Rasputin combined.

4.) Pete Rouse: most people probably don't even know who he is but he was a quiet professional chief of staff who also had Obama's respect.

99 tsr - I had the tip of a pine needle embed itself in my eye, while I was mowing. Off to a doc-in-the-box. The lady doc confirmed that it was embedded, had me lie on the table, snapped on a pair of gloves, whipped out a needle, pulled my eyelid up, and told me hold still. Okay..., she was Indian (dots), and spoke with that sing-song accent, so I was a little nervous. As I am lying there, with the needle looming large, I reached up and grabbed her wrist (couldn't stop myself), and asked, 'You have done this before, right?' . She laughed, and assured me that she had done it many times. Patch, antibiotic eye drops.

At this point, he could tell me something as innocuous as "it's raining," and I would be well within the bounds of sanity to wonder "what's the angle," "who is this benefiting," and "what political enemies of his should be watching their backs."

That reminds me of a story one of our MD/PhD profs constantly tells.

He will never tell us if he's the "intern" or the "Resident" in this case (maybe he has, but I swear it changes)

In any case, Intern has to put in a central line, never done it before.  Resident is busy.

The patient is understandably nervous, stops said intern and says "Have you ever done this before?"

Intern freezes, does not want to lie, suddenly the resident appears and says "Ma'am you wouldn't BELIEVE how many times he's done this!" then more or less walks off.

Beware the docs in short coats .

Look at the carcasses of his "achievements"; a wrecked economy with no end in sight, massive federal debts, dangerously unmanageable entitlements, cities like Detroit in ruin, crime on the rise, historic unemployment, scandals like the IRS that would have brought down most other presidents, the best healthcare system in the world in ruins- and getting worse, a more dangerous Middle East, a historically dangerous lack of respect for our country, feckless decisions like Benghazi that got our ambassador murdered by AQ, financial devastation of our military along with massive esprit de corps destruction and God knows what else.

We call these things a "clue". Yet he still doesn't get it.

182 Former Obama aides, however, maintain that there has been a messaging problem at the White House ever since Obama won reelection. Seems to me the message is nice and clear: He despises the political opposition. That in and of itself isn't the problem, it's that he puts it out in the open for all to see. Repeatedly. The majority of the time in his statements and speeches it's Republican this, Republican that, and it's almost always some sort of complaint. I don't recall any of the past Republican presidents attacking the opposition as frequently or as stridently as this guy. I can see why this asshole never held an executive position; the people under him would likely have been fighting among themselves, and the catalyst would have probably been his big mouth.

Sefton at September 18, 2013 04:55 PM (WjLUf) I've never believed he was born in Kenya. My issue with his birth certificate is that having spread the rumor that he was born in Kenya, He should have been required by election officials to produce a certified copy of the original to establish the truth. I have always felt it was incompetence for any state official to let this guy on the ballot without proof of birth. Oh, and according to the standards in use in 1787, FEDERAL citizenship was passed through the father, and was not based on place of birth. People who say otherwise are full of shit.

Who, during his lifetime (which was from his birth was an Affirmative action world) would have had the nerve or reason to tell him otherwise?

From the beginning he was brainwashed and indoctrinated in both the Islamic to the Marxist/Leninist view of the world.

Then, once in actual American society, all he saw and heard reinforced his views.

In Academe he was praised and petted by any radical leftist with an agenda (and they ALL have agendas).

During his sojourn he realized that since he was universally praised and applauded with more and more awards and gifts for nothing more than being himself (or actually his skin) he rightfully came to the obvious conclusion that he was a superior being.

It wasn't up to him to judge himself and his worthiness as that had already been done by others.

What human ego wouldn't respond in like manner?

It's one of the major problems with all the focus on boosting self esteem in school; it leads to a lack of self examination and a inability to accept or receive criticism without an emotional or even violent reaction.

We see it daily in the news.

Posted by: polynikes at September 18, 2013 04:56 PM (m2CN7) I disagree with that statement completely. Obama has no competence at winning elections. Most of his "wins" were by cheating. What he had in the Presidential election is a scale of cheating by Liberal Democrat Media people, never before seen in an American election. The Media won the election for him, despite his best efforts to screw it up. (Such as his "Share the Wealth" comment to Joe the Plumber.) Obama is not competent at winning elections. The Media people simply adore him and cheat in their coverage. Their opinion carries far more weight in politics than that of ordinary people.

I have heard a saying that goes something like "A people hire A people because they are not afraid to be compared to them.  B people hire C people because they are afraid to be compared to them."



I am not sure that is really what is going on, though.  Remember how bad a liar OJ Simpson was at his trial?   I am wondering if it is a Bell Curve thing.  If you spend most of your time dealing with a population where the IQ distribution is shifted one standard deviation to the left, you might get an inflated opinion of your abilities.  If your lies are readily accepted by people within this standard deviation shift, you might tend to overestimate your ability to persuade the population at large with disingenuous arguments.

Folks have been computerizing lately. When I first needed a copy of my birth certificate, my mother gave me a similar microfilm printout. However, I misplaced it and had to order a new copy recently. I received a nice, neat, formatted by a word processor version on fancy paper.

 

The hospital in which I was born, Queens County Naval Hospital, no longer exists. The old microfilm copy listed me as having been born in "St. Albans, New York". The new printout says "Borough of Queens, New York City".

A Yes-Man’s duty is to attend conferences and say “Yes.” A Nodder’s, as the name implies, is to nod. The chief executive throws out some statement of opinion and looks about him expectantly. This is the cue for the senior Yes-Man to say yes. He is followed, in order of precedence, by the second Yes-Man - or Vice-Yesser -, as he sometimes is called- and the junior Yes-Man.

336 Friend of mine had a cat that they declawed. Hardly slowed her down. Couldn't climb the curtains anymore, but still terrorized the neighborhood and brought home "offerings".

Only declawed cat I ever had was a black longhaired female.  I didn't do it; she came pre-declawed from her previous people.  I always suspected that when she pawed the carpet or the furniture, she was secretly hoping the claws had grown back.
