Barack Obama doesn't understand how to be President

The President of the United States heads the executive branch of government. This is a large organization which the President cannot personally direct in every detail.

Hence he must appoint people to assist him.

Obama sucks at that game (ignore whiny blaming of "system," which is same system we've always had). (Latest example.)

If you can't nominate people -- AND PUSH THEM THROUGH -- then you are not succeeding as President.

... NMC picks up on the same Yglesias post, and comes to a similar if less vehement conclusion.
