New York Times Proves Clint Eastwood Correct -- Obama Is Lousy CEO - Forbes

How he vastly overrates his capabilities:

But even those loyal to Mr. Obama say that his quest for excellence can bleed into cockiness and that he tends to overestimate his capabilities. The cloistered nature of the White House amplifies those tendencies, said Matthew Dowd, a former adviser to President George W. Bush, adding that the same thing happened to his former boss. “There’s a reinforcing quality,” he said, a tendency for presidents to think, I’m the best at this.

2. How he spends extraordinary amounts of time and energy to compete in — trivialities.

For someone dealing with the world’s weightiest matters, Mr. Obama spends surprising energy perfecting even less consequential pursuits. He has played golf 104 times since becoming president, according to Mark Knoller of CBS News, who monitors his outings, and he asks superior players for tips that have helped lower his scores. He decompresses with card games on Air Force One, but players who do not concentrate risk a reprimand (“You’re not playing, you’re just gambling,” he once told Arun Chaudhary, his former videographer).

His idea of birthday relaxation is competing in an Olympic-style athletic tournament with friends, keeping close score. The 2009 version ended with a bowling event. Guess who won, despite his history of embarrassingly low scores? The president, it turned out, had been practicing in the White House alley.

He may not always be as good at everything as he thinks, including politics. While Mr. Obama has given himself high grades for his tenure in the White House — including a “solid B-plus” for his first year — many voters don’t agree, citing everything from his handling of the economy to his unfulfilled pledge that he would be able to unite Washington to his claim that he would achieve Israeli-Palestinian peace.

“I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,” Mr. Obama told Patrick Gaspard, his political director, at the start of the 2008 campaign, according to The New Yorker. “I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m going to think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

Because CEO's never play golf.

Oh gee..another hit piece about Obama playing golf. The way this looks..he's the only President ever to play golf. Oh wait..that's not right..is it..

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3p9y_OEAdc]Now watch this drive! - YouTube[/ame]

And oh wait..he must be slacking. 108 golf games in 4 years. Hmmm..and with 384 possible times during that period to play golf..since there are that many weekend days in the time frame. But maybe this President shouldn't get weekends off. Or maybe, somehow, he taken more vacation then other Presidents..

Well gosh darn it..Obama took more vacation time then Clinton..and less then George W. Bush and Ronald "Banker's hours" Reagan.

And gosh darn it..he's competitive when he plays sports. A good quality in a leader is that they lose..right?

Boy oh boy..if only the President of the United States got to fire people in Congress, Governors and other elected officials that he didn't agree with..right? Just like a CEO..then the country would be really cooking..

Obvious hit piece is obvious..and easily dissembled.

Liberals bitched about Bush playing golf and taking vacation and it was much LESS than Obama, which is why we like to remind you of your hypocrisy.

After 911, Bush didn't play golf at all. He thought it was disrespectful to the men and women fighting. obama doesn't have that level of respect. obama doesn't respect anyone. Some democrats know this. That's why Clinton's aide, Douglas Band, has announced that he's voting for Romney.

obama doesn't have a record to run on. He intends to run on Bill Clinton's record instead.
