No man there at all?

Bill Whittle delivers his harshest criticism yet of Barack Obama. Aloof, detached, cool, supremely calm and confident? Or, checking out until the fight is over, then basking in the glory, as with Obamacare and the Bin Laden killing? Likewise with the Benghazi disaster, checking out in order to be rested for the next day's glory and adulation in Las Vegas.

A man who campaigns and fund-raises all the time so that he can soak up the rapidly evaporating pools of adulation at the expense of the hard work and late hours needed to actually do his job. What happens when there is no one left to blame, or delegate to? If he is a true, clinical, pathological narcissist, then he will continue to run from criticism, evade responsibility. But the one thing that is unbearable for men like this is to be mocked. He'll check out before that happens. There will be no place to hide.
