    1) My summary of Obama: He is the fellow who, when there is fire in the building, makes a great moving speech, then calls for advice.

        2) His legacy is an increased centralization in the most complex system we've seen, instead of exact opposite. Not the America I want.

        3) Basically "no scandal in his presidency" sums it all: for we didn't elect an archbishop for sermons & lectures, but a decision-maker.

        4) Obama-novacaine left us with 10 trillion gov debt for 7-10 mil jobs and hugely increased fragility in the system.

      @nntaleb The word that describes Obama perfectly is Charlatan - 'a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill; a fraud.'

      @nntaleb @SebGorka My observation is that he makes a speech and pours some more gas on the fire.

      @nntaleb What about golfing and snorkling in Hawaii? He did that too to help with the stress of asking for advice.

      .@nntaleb @BarackObama has a college-essay view of the world. When bloviating meets the real world, the real world wins.
