Chairman Zero's character flaws are beginning, ever so slowly, to be noticed. John F. Harris of Politico lists "seven stories Barack Obama doesn't want told":
1. He thinks he's playing with Monopoly money: No fiscal responsibility whatsoever.
2. He's a dithering intellectual poseur. He would rather study a problem, and impress his clique by holding forth on its nuances, than actually solve it.
3. He governs like a Chicago thug. He buys off corrupt pols ($300 million for Mary Landrieu's vote on health care) and bullies opponents like FoxNews and certain Inspectors General who dare to investigate his cronies.
4. He's a wuss. All of his bowing to foreign leaders conveys weakness. He comes back from China with nothing.
5. He doesn't believe the USA is a great country: At best, the USA is just one country in the community of nations, no more special than Ecuador or Finland.
I would add a number 8. He's not as smart as advertised.
