When you were an educator, I imagine you had little empathy for
students to whom you gave an F.
You are on track to get an F grade as President.

One of your early messages was that the best antidote to the big
government/small government debate was smart government.
You have failed to demonstrate smart government.
A characteristic of successful companies is good management. The route to smart government is good management.  Management – the art of getting things done through people.

You are not getting trusted feedback about negative staff performance to foster good management and thence smart government.
I have constantly told you, that part of the job of Chief of Staff is to measure staff performance to make sure they are up to standard and enforce policies.
The churning of Chief of Staffs has resulted in failure to protect your back.
The current distraction issues could be mitigated by enforcing a high
performance standard.
I have been critical of Axelrod, Emanuel, Geithner and Holder.
You are paying for their failings

The Federal Reserve has been force to resort to Quantitative Easing because of the absence of Fiscal Policy.  You have demonstrated that you haven’t learned enough economics to understand this.

You have not learned to deftly exercise the levers of power.
Desperate times call for desperate measures
  Hire the best lobbyists Government can afford.
  Resort to bribery, use stealth earmarks.
  Build an insurgency department to marshal Congress to get things done.
  Look, you have a winning election team.
  Use this team find the votes for each bill.  It must be multi-dimensional, building specific coalitions for each bill, gender, age, geographic, economic, race.  Whatever it takes, get something done.

You are out of touch.
Americans are a proud people who like to carry their heads high.
You are oblivious of so many who are frustrated, forced to be humble and meek.
You don’t know the price of a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk. You only know statistics.  Don’t believe inflation is less than 1%, ask why has the price of a loaf of bread and gallon of milk tripled since you entered office. I speak from my experience. When your advisor gives you the answer (they will likely say it’s just not so.) challenge him/her.  You are too used to being spoon fed.  People in your circles don’t care about the price of a loaf of bread or gallon of milk.

Enough rhetoric, let’s see some small deeds that provide hope.  You have spent more time electioneering (the 2010 mid-terms, the 2012 Presidential) than Presidential Executive matters.  Enough, you have no business meddling with the 2014 mid-terms.

Your rolodex for new staff is now depleted.  Check with Hillary Clinton, ask her to be a consultant. Use her problem solving skills to clean house and tap into her rolodex. I suggested a long time ago to
switch her with Biden.  You don’t know how to get things done through people.

I have told you before.  I work with Hispanics, Filipinos and Blacks. Only the Blacks whine and complain because it is part of their culture.  The rest of us resent them.  Nothing worse than a Black’s whining and bitching.  Deal with it!

Follow the new Pope’s example, strive to serve the people.

Unlike an arrogant academic dishing out an F, I feel the country suffers that you are heading for an F.  I’m surprised the downtrodden are rioting in Sweden.  I felt the 99% solidarity with the Occupy
Movement.  I still feel the rumbling that riots could erupt in your remaining 3 years. As big government is further tarnished, just ask Emanuel about the 5% in Chicago that perpetuate anarchy.

I told you so.
