In today’s Congress Blog in The Hill online edition, California Representative Dennis Cardoza blows his party’s leader right out of his Teddy Roosevelt combat boots.

According to Cardoza, US voters made a gross mistake in hiring Obama as chief executive. - Gateway Pundit

In Cardoza’s opinion, Obama is at best cut out to be no more than a professor–and a non-tenured one, we could hope–as since his election, he has done nothing more than lecture, lecture, lecture.

Wisely, Cardoza apologizes to all professors, saying he’s not trying to disparage their profession–only simply point out the obvious. And although he never directly says so, Cardoza makes it fairly clear that the obvious isn’t so much Obama’s reliance on his teleprompter as his lack of leadership and a personality ill-suited to holding the position of Most Powerful Man in the Universe.

Dem lawmaker blasts ‘Professor Obama’ as arrogant, alienating - The Hill

"One former administration official told me directly that the people in the White House “NEVER TALK TO REAL PEOPLE.” Another former Obama staffer confided to me that it was clear to him that the president didn’t mind giving speeches (lectures), but really avoided personal contact with members of Congress and folks outside the Beltway. “He doesn’t seem to derive energy from spending time with regular people the way Clinton did. He rallies to give speeches for the big crowds, but avoids individual contact,” the former staffer recalled. This “arms-length” attitude extends to top decision-makers in the president’s administration. A senior housing official recently told me that, despite the fact that he was responsible for crafting policies to stem the foreclosure crisis, he had personally never met with a homeowner who had been foreclosed on."
