   Why would he? He has all he needs with the czars doing his bidding. Dear jarrett and mo are seeing to it he sees just who he needs to see. He doesn’t need anyone, congress cabinet members, or anyone else as long as he has his dandy little EO pen!

   What does an ideologue bent on destroying America need with meetings. He knows what he wants to do … so why bother.

   In most situations, this magnitude of negligence is a fireable offense. Any excuse can not be accepted. On the other hand, you can’t hold him responsible when he says “I didn’t know that was going on.”

   Well, go figure.

   Why would he want to meet with Cabinet Members, when they’re answerable to Congress?

   Clearly better for him that he stick to his Praetorian Guard - they don’t answer to anyone but him, and they already know not to put anything on paper.

    Goes to confirm that Little Man has delegated Executive powers to unelected activists. He carte blanche endorses whatever they may choose to do – giving direct orders to agencies and regulators. Literally the inmates are running the asylum.

    Simple solutionn. If he can produce an original legal birth certificate I will admit to being irrational about the issue. I’m not holding my breath.

    “Not only was the President not listening to people outside the Administration, he wasn’t even listening to senior members of his Administration. He was really only listening to a very small group of people within the West Wing.”

    mmmm So much for this guy being a multi-tasking genius. On the contrary he seems to be the real life dolt caracature that the Left portrayed Bush to be. He is clearly not a deep or independent thinker nor does he appear to be a manager. He also appears to require a lot of direction.

    If he were an employee of a company his annual reviews would be quite poor – and that’s not even considering accomplishments or lack thereof. Pretty funny. No, not funny, this particular dolt is running the country.

    And it appears those ignored cabinet members liked it that way else it wouldn’t have taken 2 years for that to come out (and not by them).
    This regime smells of “Why Work?“.

    This issue is not going away. Between his COLB and his college/high school records, he is hiding something big. It will be a huge issue for the next campaign and he’d better be ready! There is NO WAY we can allow him to be re-elected without proper vetting. It wasn’t done, and it MUST.BE.DONE.NOW.

    Well, let’s see:

    Defense – Yeah, need to talk to him to cut all that wasteful spending.

    Treasury – Yeah, need to talk to him to keep the boodle coming.

    Attorney General – Yeah, need to talk to him to keep the homies outta’ the slammer.

    State – Yeah, need to talk to her to keep her from running against me.

    HHS – Yeah, need to talk to her to keep the abortion machine running, and to keep the gubmint handouts flowing to the voters.

    HUD – Yeah, need to keep Valerie Jarrett’s housing companies employed.

    Commerce – Yeah, need to keep technology flowing to the Chinese.

    Labor – Dude, I’m a Marxist. It’s all about labor.

    Well, it’s not looking good for Interior, Agriculture, and Veteran’s Affairs. And come to think of it, Joe Biden’s phone hasn’t rung. But hey, I could be wrong.

    As others have pointed out he has his Czars. To me this means that Obama looks at the Cabinet appointees as just place holders.

    My question is how many of his Czars has he not met with?

    You may see the evidence and you may know for a fact he isn’t eligible, but this is what matters:

    Robert Gibbs statement on Obama’s citizenship from a few days ago. The first words of truth from his mouth on this subject. I think he has started to get a little concerned about some of his past statements.

    Quote from Gibbs:

    “I think rational people have — have long ago, many when they first heard and saw the president, come to the conclusion of his citizenship,”

    What conclusion, that he’s not a citizen?

    Obviously there have been the group cabinet meetings

    From CBS Mark Knoller
    Obama’s 2010: By the Numbers

    Cabinet meetings: 6
    -Since taking office: 12

    There have only been 12 meetings he could have talked to these people since taking office then and how much time did each one get to speak to the president, if at all at them?

    Oh also from the CBS website:
    Recreation:

    -Golf: 29 rounds in 2010 -Since taking office: 57 rounds.

    -Basketball: 20 basketball outings. -Since taking office: 28

    So 85 days golfing or playing basketball compared to just 12 cabinet meetings.

    BOB,
    It is entirely possible that he isn’t even a citizen, he’s definitely not a natural born citizen, unless his father is other than Barak Obama sr. Only an original document will answer that question.

    He may still be an Indonesian citizen by the name of Barry Sotoero. Once adopted by Lolo Sotoero he became an Indonesian citizen by the name of Barry Sotoero, did he ever file to change that?

    Wow for all the crap Bush gets at least he DID keep in touch with his cabinet and well for better or worse (Iraq) he DID listen. Obama seems more and more like some spoiled rich kid who wants to take dads car (our nation) out for a drive then crashes it (our economy) and can’t understand why dads mad.(Us) How in gods name did he ever win?

    I say a Wizard did it.
