More than likely he is micromanaging, as he wants to put the Obama stamp on everything. Ronald Reagan was never overwhelmed. Reagan was the ultimate CEO. He asked people to give him the high concept of memos. He believed that if you chose the right people, give them free reign, they'll do OK. John McCain might not be so overwhelmed as Obama. Obama's idea of making whitehouse.gov a portal to and from the American people with blogs, texting, posting all regulations and legislation for comment didn't sound like a good idea and will most probably be abandoned. Whitehouse business moves much to fast to keep this sort of thing up.
