In other words, he's [Obama] never done much work putting legislation together -- especially legislation that channels vast flows of money and affects the workings of parts of the economy that deeply affect people's lives. This lack of experience is starting to show. On the major legislation considered this year -- the stimulus, cap and trade, health care -- the Obama White House has done little or nothing to set down markers, to provide guidance, to establish boundaries and no-go areas.
None of this should come as a surprise to anyone. The country elected a neophyte to POTUS (which is why the Republicans shouldn't try to do the same--people will be crying for a Eisenhower/Reagan type Grandpa come 2016, and avoiding game-show-host-charisma style candidates--the party that puts Grandpa out there will win). If this POTUS has taught us anything, it is that there is no room for learning on the job. Experience matters, in all things, even if it is the illusion of experience.
