Obama: Complacent, Weak and Ineffectual?

Christopher Edley

President Obama’s self-confidence borders on complacency. He is ill served by senior staff, especially his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. He does not appear to be learning on the job as he did when campaigning for the White House. His Administration is too deferential to Congress, too reliant on the President’s personal charm, and as a result is regarded by its enemies as weak and ineffectual.

Now, who in the world would have written those word’s about the “Chosen One”?

Glenn Beck? No.
Rush Limbaugh? No.
Sean Hannity? No.
Bill O’Reilly? No.

Well then, it had to be some far right, conservative wing nut, right?

Actually, this assessment of Obama’s first year in office came not from one of his established critics on the Right, but from one of his most respected mentors — his former professor at Harvard Law School, Chris Edley, and published in Britains Times Online.  Professor Edley also stated...

“What I fear is that having made history, having won a Nobel prize, having been celebrated around the world, a measure of complacency may have set in…I don’t mean that the effort is not there, but that the discipline of self-criticism has perhaps faded.”

Obama's "disciline of self criticism" could not have faded as it was never there to begin with. 

The President's inexperieince and accompanying lack of any real leadership have served to make him overly dependent on his progressive liberal friends and allowed our curent Congress to run amuck. 

Professor Edley simply stated the same in a kinder way!
