Senate Majority Leader-elect Harry Reid (D-NV), following Friday’s Oval Office meeting with the President on Iraq: “I just didn’t feel there today, the president in his words or his demeanor, that he is going to do anything right away to change things drastically. He is tepid in what he talks about doing. Someone has to get the message to this man that there have to be significant changes.”

More here, including the President’s now standard fallback position when challenged: “I am the commander in chief.” I doubt that is the sort of management technique he was taught at Harvard Business School. It’s more like something Steve Carell’s character in The Office would come up with.
