The first 30 months of the Obama era have been less than successful in the same way that being hit by a high-speed train is less than healthful.
Supposedly this was because our previous leader, one George W. Bush, left Mr. Obama with far too many holes to dig his way out of. But recently media telescreens have started droning a new current truth.
The LA Times channels Big Bother (sic) for us:
In the first two years of Obama’s presidency, his top aides had grown accustomed to a process in which Obama drew out and explored the views of his full team and searched for a consensus — decision by ballot, some called it.
Increasingly, however, that process has changed, according to a wide group of Obama’s personal friends, informal advisors and top aides interviewed during the spring. In recent months, they say, the president has been relying more heavily on his own instincts and feeling less impelled to seek accord among advisors.
The old adage says “A camel is a horse designed by a committee.” Apparently, Mr. Obama’s advisory committee consists of camels and horses.
The president, a man of “great judgment” who picked the gaffe-tastic Joe Biden for a running mate, also picked these advisors.
We’re now supposed to believe that things will improve because Obama will be relying more on said great judgment and not on them. His remarkable intellect, which collapses into an endless streams of “uhhhs” and “ummms” when his teleprompter loses power, will now be called upon to make the decisions.
We hope the camels and horses don’t wander off too far.
