From Naked Capitalism

I voted for Obama, but with my eyes open. He had no prior executive experience, nor any significant legislative accomplishments. As a senator, he was a newcomer to Washington who spent most of his time out of town campaigning for some other office. Which means he knew no one there.

It was not hard to anticipate the result: The new President was easily captured by Washington insiders & quickly reduced to mindless pandering. I've seen a lot of that the last week. High-flown oratory is no substitute for effective executive management. They are, in fact, completely unrelated. So instead of actually governing, our new Emperor is instead out campaigning. Trying to persuade us he is wearing fine new clothes. Increasingly, we suspect otherwise.
