Obama's vision of the Presidency is whack

We are starting to see the image Obama has of being President. Obama's 'I'm not an operating officer", I'll just get a bunch of people
to do that stuff for me because I lose things and my desk just gets messy anyway.

What happens in a crisis? Is he going to rely on third level staffers to do the quick, effective decision making in the crunch because he can't get his hands dirty?

Is this why he looks to Reagan as the model of a transformational presidency? Does anybody remember the stage crafting of Reagan? Every light, prop, crowd, flag, pencil, tie, and speech was scripted from start to finish, Obama is good at giving his lines, the lines that get people crying and emotional, does he see that as his role? Another Reagan with Hollywood handlers who is a good communicator?

Do we have 4-8 yrs to look forward to with him giving pablum to the masses while his Chicago
crew runs the Government?

Reagan had an excuse, he was in his 70's and had Alzheimers, what's Obama's?
