THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Former Defense Secretary Blasts 'Micromanager' Obama Having served under both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has a unique understanding of presidential leadership. In his new book "A Passion For Leadership", Gates shares some of what he's learned in his 50 years of public service, including his tenure as the head of the Defense department. WATCH: Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on Hannity On Hannity, Gates offered some insight into the mind and leadership of President Barack Obama. "Bring me into the mind of the Barack Obama you knew," Sean asked Gates. The former Defense Secretary said that he had two concerns about President Obama's style of leadership. His first concern was the president's "micromanagement". "[President Obama] seems to be unwilling to trust subordinates to execute his policies and so he centralized operational activities in the White House," Gates explained. "So, under previous administrations that I worked for, there might be 40 or 50 professionals on the national security council staff. There are now hundreds." Gates' second concern was the president's inability to make a decision and execute it in policy. As an example, Gates pointed to the president's now infamous 2009 Cairo speech in which he declared a "new beginning" in U.S. mid-East relations. "It led to a lot of euphoria and then nothing," Gates said. "There was no strategy, there was no implementation, and the result was bitterness in the Middle East because it was just seen as hallow rhetoric." Will She or Won't She? The movie "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" has been thrilling movie-goers since it opened last week. The Michael Bay directed thriller tells the story of the terror attack that claimed four lives in Benghazi in 2012. Despite the positive reception the movie has gotten there's at least one American who won't be going to the theaters: Hillary Clinton. WATCH: Hillary says she will take a pass on "13 Hours" Although the events depicted took place under her during her tenure as Secretary of State, Clinton said she'll be taking a pass on the film when asked by CNN's Jake Tapper. "I'm just too busy campaigning," Clinton told Tapper on Sunday. "I am still very focused on making sure we do everything we can, as I did when I was secretary of state, as I testified to over 11 hours, to make sure nothing like that happens again as far as we are able to prevent it."
