Our President is practically comatose – so what's up with that?
by Justin Raimondo
The New York Times's newest neocon columnist, David Brooks, laptop bombardier Max Boot and others who have taken offense at the neocons-hijacked-the-White House meme have indignantly asked: doesn't the President have a mind of his own? Plainly, now, the answer is a flat no. This President is like "a blind man in a room full of deaf people," says former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill, and the phrase has reverberated around the current news cycle with such velocity because it rings so true.

O'Neill's description of a completely disengaged chief executive, virtually bereft of intellectual curiosity, explains much about the otherwise inexplicable behavior of our commander-in-chief. We've often wondered how various factions within the administration could not only sabotage their enemies, but openly lash out at each other, and send contradictory messages to both our friends and enemies abroad: why doesn't the President take this in hand?

Now we know why. The guy is practically in a coma.
