You think obambi is calling all the shots? That’s why I said debatable. IMO, he’s getting a lot of input from folks who aren’t on the official advisor list. Ya know what that sounds dumb. He does have the final say when it is all said and done.

I think the way he works with Gates is a a example. He knows little about defense, so he kept Gates. BHO does not like the way Afghanistan is going and relies on Gates to get the joint chiefs together and come up with a plan. Gates wants to can a general, BHO signs off on it. If BHO had decided on his own to micro manage the war, we’d be in deep trouble, it’s not his thing.
On the flip side, one of his guys thinks a fly by over NYC would be cool, and he tosses him under the bus. That, he can deal with, without advisors.
