According to the NYT it seems in the first two years of his presidency Obama has never called to talk to at least half a dozen cabinet members. He has limited the advice he receives to just a few people including the SEIU President and AFLCIO-Union mob boss Richard Trumka. http://www.patriotactionnetwork.com...Id=2600775:Comment:3262366&xg_source=activity
I beleive it. Confirms what I've read elsewhere. OTH, how would you feel if he talked to you for some time, all buddy buddy, then pfffttt. never talks to you again? You'd feel like a pos and wouldn't surprise me one bit if the people who turned down jobs or left the administration were aware of that.
He's not a thinker or exchanger of ideas. The man put in poor grades at university (otherwise they would release his transcripts) and he has likely surrounded himself with similar dullards. Can't have people on your team that are smarter than you when you are "brilliant", right? Such people having difficulty utilizing the talent in those that work for them or around them.
