I find the most interesting quote in the article....
"One thing about the presidency is that you can only make decisions based on the information at hand. You don't get to have information after you make the decision -- that's not the way it works."
Is the most revealing. He (or any POTUS) is not judged based on that. They are Monday morning quarter backed by the media and partisan spin masters to sway we the people. As I have said before, as inferred in this article, Obama too will find he will make decisions in the same manner. Some will contain information he will not be able to share even if it turns out to be a bad or unpopular decision. He has yet to discover what it is he cannot do or say....even in his own behalf. What he has going for him is he has a significant break...tolerance....allowance in the media.....for now.
