“On key calls, Obama looks to gut”

That was a headline in yesterday’s Chicago Tribune.  According to the article:

“In the first two years of Obama's presidency, his top aides had grown accustomed to a process in which Obama drew out and explored the views of his full team and searched for a consensus — decision by ballot, some called it. 

Increasingly, however, that process has changed, according to a wide group of Obama's personal friends, informal advisors and top aides interviewed during the spring. In recent months, they say, the president has been relying more heavily on his own instincts and feeling less impelled to seek accord among advisors.”

Oh my gosh, Barack Obama is becoming George W. Bush!
