The Half-a-Loaf Management Style

You can't say that Obama has been a very active, very determined president. He is clearly a moderate and a relatively weak one at that. Witness his appointment of Elizabeth Warren as an assistant to the president for the purpose of organizing the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. It would have been more in keeping with the wishes of most of those who voted for him had he actually named her the director. But this would have really upset Big Business and Tim. Heaven forfend that this should happen!
