It certainly explains why they are so cluless or detached from the masses on so many important issues. This attitude is hurting all of us unnecessarily. It also explains why political correctness makes sense to them. It explains why 62% of voters believe we are still in a recession and why Obama believes the priate sector isdoing fine...........................................

In my opinion, you are on the brink here......first of all I put "progressive" in quotes in my post to make the point you are making.
But most importantly, I think one of the most serious flaws of this President and this administration is counsel taken. He does rely heavily on the two you mentioned and as you recall many of the Chicago crowd was with him at the beginning.
All Presidents have "go to" folks....ALL of them. I think this President is so reliant on them because of his own insecurities....he knows he is over his head and when you feel that way, you hang on to only the most trusted. If you know you are on the right track, you go forward with great confidence.
He does not feel confident with many folks beyond his magic group....of course I am talking about confidence as a basic element but confident as you are in your job and your duties.
He would probably have made quite a good senator on balance.
