We're seeing more and more that Obama is not a leader and it is beginning to look like he has also not been a boss from the earliest days of his administration. Ron Suskind's newest book, "Confidence Men", asserts that our friend, Tim Geithner, ignored Obama's directive to consider that, maybe, Citibank was not too big to fail and should be dissolved. Note the word 'consider'. Timmy did not waste his time on such a directive. We've seen the mess that Tim has caused with his loyalty to the world of finance. And Mr. Obama was stupid enough to beg him to stay on as Treasury Secretary when Tim was contemplating leaving this summer.
Suskind is not a nutter. He has written a number of sound books about our world and has won the Pulitzer. I think we have to take his assertions as truth. Clearly, Obama has done nothing for us to question the assertions.
It's less and less likely that Obama will be living in the White House come January 20, 2013.
