The Obama campaign or the Obama presidency?


I usually try to eschew posting political articles here, first of all because they're usually inane. However, I think this article has generated a lot of discussion and Edward Luce is a good reporter for the FT so I recommend checking it out: "America: A fearsome foursome." The idea is that the way Obama has structured the management of his white house, essentially keeping the tight night campaign machine in place (pictured above), has drastically limited his ability to hear the policy advice provided by government apart from the political advice provided by his inner circle. If true, its a problem, and it seems plausible.
