It is not a side-effect. The chaos in our federal government is a deliberate result of the Dems Alinskyite tactics. The chaos is primary, deliberately contrived, and created where it doesn't already exist.

But when you create chaos you have to be able to manage in the chaos, you have to keep the chaos from running out of your control. Otherwise you become the victim of your own chaos.

I don't see signs that Obama is managing the chaos. He seems a weak leader to me, with elements of his administration running around confused and semi-independent. The Federal government has a great inertia, and it's not used to being run like this.

Arafat used to manage in this chaotic style, for similar reasons. He was a revolutionary who never made the transition to statesman. He also had a similar passive-aggressive management style. But he kept control of things by having many overlapping agencies (which hindered independent concentrations of power) and by keeping his personal hand on the purse strings, so everybody depended on him for money.

But a President can't imitate Arafat's style because the Federal government has a budget, so Federal Departments are not dependent on the personal good will of the President for their revenues.
