I'm really getting tired of reading and hearing about how President-elect Obama ran a great campaign. He didn't. He hired people who are experts and THEY ran it! He had control over the message, true, but not the administration of the campaign itself.
There's a book out titled "Michelle" - it's a biography of Michelle Obama, and there are interesting parts involving campaigns and campaigning. Not just for president, but for the U.S. Senate. I'd recommend that people read it not only because it provides information on a great person (Michelle Obama) but also provides insight into Barack's political ambitions and those involved in running the campaign.
By the way, I'm thrilled that he got elected. But I never expected him to run the country, or even run his administration, just like he didn't run his campaign. Others will be doing that and it's those "others" that I worry about!
