I knew his campaign was bloated, but this is ridiculous:

    I have no problem with advisors, as long as that is what they are…. advising.

    It should be a leader, or hell, even a manager of a company, to take opinions and advice from those under him, and then make a decision based on what he has been given for information.

    The answer, provided to Mr. Obama with bullet points, was yes — or “a genuine opportunity,” as he put it in a speech on Iraq this week.

    But that does not seem to be the case here. It seems Obama is being told what to say andwhat to think on subjects, instead of taking what he is given and deciding for himself how to proceed.

    That is not a leader.

    Hell, that isn’t even a manager.

    He may need them all judging by the amount of assholery he spouts on the subject. Now if he’d just listen to them…

    Perhaps the number of Obama’s advisors explains why his policy pronouncements are so obtuse, indecisive, and subject to endless revision and refinement. If he had fewer advisors, he probably wouldn’t appear to be so confused and inclined to flip-flop so often.

    Check the source of this information. Do you really think it is possible for anyone to have 300 advisors? He couldn’t possible handle that many voices.It’s totally fabricated information.

    Elisabeth Bumiller, who wrote this article, has supported the Bush administration as a white house correspondent and is writing the biography of Condi Rice. The whole thing is meant to create more distraction. Take a step back and think about it.

    And that doesn’t include the ones he’s already thrown under the bus.

    Advisers are great. Every leader should have advisers, preferably of differing viewpoints so that the leader gets input from all sides of a given issue.

    That being said, getting talking points that essentially boil down to “this is what you think” is not advice.

    And 300 is excessive even if these advisers weren’t telling Obama what to think.
