I am tempted to go with the story that Obama wasn't told anything about anything and that he's the most incompetent president we've ever had. I mean please, the man never held a real job in his life and certainly has had no experience leading or managing anything before being thrust into the position of leading the most powerful country on the planet. And lets not forger that our President sure knows how to occupy his time with activities other than governing, like celebrity parties and golf.
But given the kind of Imperial Presidency Obama has attempted to pursue during his first term, I am not so sure he would leave every decision and action to his underlings. He may not be able to surround himself with actually competent advisors, but I suspect they are all quite willing to provide him the cover and "reasonable deniability" he is now falling back on.
Time will tell whether he will be given a pass on all the outrageous tactics his administration has used since he took office, or whether his management house of cards will fall and people will recognize him for what he is: an unscrupulous hack who uses Chicago-style tactics to intimidate and hamstring his opponents.
