Interesting article there .. “Obama can’t know how thin-skinned .. his staff are” ?

Sounds like someone hasn’t taken an honest look at Obama himself, eh?

Yeah, Woodward’s comments had the same “if Stalin only knew!” verbal tick as well.
Oh, that’s a much older tic, Crawford… there’s a tradition of Russians believing they’re ruled by evil barons and that the Tsar will come and rescue them that goes back practically to the founding of the country…

They cannot accept that the tabula rasa n00b munchkin they worked to elect is the problem… so it must be the evil barons.

Sorry .. unclear.
.
“the country” in the above refers to Russia under the Tsars.
.
“They” in the above refers to the media. Woodward and Fournier and Brazile are of one mind .. “we didn’t want this, therefore our man-god doesn’t want this” …

I think part of the reluctance is if you draw Woodward’s observations to their natural conclusion, Obama’s incompetent. Lot of journos who worship at the altar of Obama are having are time coming to that realization. To which I say…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk12LA-UbMI
