There has been a lot of speculation about who is running the show out of the White House. I definitely understand the reasons to wonder. Lunchbox Joe has a tendency to slur his words and get lost in the middle of a thought. He also hasn’t regulated his urge to sniff women and girls even after he promised to do so. All in all, it seems like he just isn’t completely there.

There are countless examples. One episode that leaves my mouth hanging open is the “Hairly Legs” speech he gave.

I read a good argument over at Powerline that made the case that Susan Rice may be the figure pulling the strings. Some of the evidence to support this are the hard left Executive Orders he has been signing the first few days in office. The word “equity” has made it into more than a couple. I tend to agree with the larger point of the article that these Executive Orders could have been put together by pretty much any leftist surrounding the Commander in Chief. In fact they have probably been drafted for quite a while, just waiting on the right person to sign them.

If you look at the rest of the cabinet though it is impossible to not remember the names. This is a link to NPR.

Twelve of the sixteen picks worked for Obama. Do we really believe that those links with the last administration just disappeared? I’ll bet there is a lot of “advice” flowing into the new White House from someone who once had the ropes. Why would I think this? Here is a link to CNS News with an interview that Obama gave to Steven Colbert.  Here is the money quote:

I’ve said this before, people would ask me, knowing what you know now, do you wish you had a third term?

And I used to say, if I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front-man or front-woman and they had an ear piece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that, because I found the work fascinating.

I don’t think he was kidding. What is even better is that Obama won’t catch any flack for the truly zany policies. He can run things with no attribution.
