You don’t usually hear someone from inside President Obama’s inner circle mention the president’s abysmal lack of experience before taking command of the greatest nation on earth.

But, according to CNN’s Peter Hamby, one former White House official did indeed admit what we already knew: a do-nothing, community organizer from Chicago without a single day of executive experience, whose only accomplishment is being a great campaigner, isn’t going to be a great leader.

“I talked to a former Obama White House person just before Christmas when Obama was sort of adrift, figuring out what to do, is poll numbers were pretty low,” Hamby reported on CNN’s “New Day” Monday.

“He said, ‘Look, the president needs to find an issue to campaign on. This is what he’s good at. He’s really good at campaigning, maybe not governing’ according to this Democrat.”
