From Tina Brown
Obama, for all his brilliance, has no real, felt understanding of management structures or of business.
Obama fans become more and more glum that he keeps flubbing the very role he was expected to be so good at: Therapist to the nation. The Great Comforter.
Obama can't change his cool disposition, though it would be nice if he lost the vaguely grudging air he gives off that problems of management get in the way of ideas.
There is nothing radical about Obama except the fact of who he is.
Unlike the Kennedy dynasty, who always knew how to pay off people who might make trouble, the Windsors can't bring themselves to part with any royal trinkets.
The Duke of York has never remarried.
Does Obama create confusion on purpose?
Periodically, 'The New York Times' runs a business news story lamenting how few women still make it to the top in the Wall Street boys' club. Could it be that women are choosing to be conscientious objectors in these wars of one against all?
Everywhere you look, there's a hunger to put the ethos by which Wall Street thrives on trial.
