The President relying on experts instead of telling them what to do and trusting their expertise as if they will execute what they are told effectively. If you read biographies of great leaders, ie pope John Paul 2nd or President Reagan you will notice common pattern: the burocracy told what to do screaming in utter shock that they are "under attack". The burocrats just needed some time to get adjusted to a new situation where they don't call the shots anymore, but are there to execute the Leaders policy. For example JP2 was famous for totally ignoring his personal security team demands. At the beginning the pope was banned from travel by his own security team as this is "how it has always been". And they were the experts after all. It took them some getting used to new situation where the pope was deciding where he goes, when and how. Obama seems to be a bit weak. He seems to be someone who would rather have someone else make though decisions, so the result can't be blamed on him. With Syria he actually took advise from... putin😁
The problem is the crisis of leadership above anything else.
