Michael Lewis, Vanity Fair "Obama's Way" [View all]

[cleduc]

It's one of the best articles I can recall reading on President Obama
Michael Lewis, Vanity Fair "Obama's Way"

I did two searches to see if it had already been posted and didn't find it. Apologies if I missed it.

I won't try to break it down as it's nine long pages and I don't want to compromise what Lewis was trying to say. Obama's decision process on Libya was gone into in depth for example - and might be of additional interest with the embassy attack. Lewis spent several months with President Obama, following him around and grabbing a few minutes here and there, when time allowed.

My reaction was "Now that's the guy I thought got elected in 2008 and he's obviously been there the whole time but up to now, a bunch of the media has missed out."
