Yes libs, I realize this website isn't as credible as..say... the NYT.
But if you dopes can give the NYT a pass for using unnamed sources, then surely you will extend the same courtesy here. Right?
White House Insider on Obama: “the President is Losing It.” | Newsflavor
,...........But after Obama was sworn in, things began to change? Almost immediately. Obama loved to campaign. He clearly didnt like the work of being President though, and that attitude was felt by the entire White House staff within weeks after the inauguration. Obama the tireless, hard working candidate became a very tepid personality to us. And the few news stories that did come out against him were the only things he seemed to care about. He absolutely obsesses over Fox News. For being so successful, Barack Obama is incredibly thin-skinned. He takes everything very personally.
*******
So if Obama doesnt appear interested in the job of president, what does he do day after day? - Well, he takes his meetings just like any other president would, though even then, he seems to lack a certain focus and on a few occasions, actually leaves with the directive that be given a summary of the meeting at a later date. I hear he plays a lot of golf, and watches a lot of television ESPN mainly. Ill tell you this if you want to see President Obama get excited about a conversation, turn it to sports. That gets him interested. You start talking about Congress, or some policy, and he just kinda turns off. Its really very strange. I mean, we were all led to believe that this guy was some kind of intellectual giant, right? Ivy League and all that. Well, that is not what I saw. Barack Obama doesnt have a whole lot of intellectual curiosity. When he is off script, he is what I call a real slow talker. Lots of ummms, and lots of time in between answers where you can almost see the little wheel in his head turning very slowly. I am not going to say the president is a dumb man, because he is not, but yeah, there was a definite letdown when you actually hear him talking without the script.
That sounds like you are calling Obama stupid to me. - No, I am not going to call him stupid. He just doesnt strike me as particularly smart. Bill Clinton is a smart guy he would run intellectual circles around Barack Obama. And Bill Clinton loved the politics of being president. Obama seems to think he shouldnt have to be bothered, which has created a considerable amount of conflict among his staff.
So how bad are things at the White House these days? - I dont know about right now, because I have not been there in over a month. But I still hear things, and I know what it was like when I left. Its not good. As bad as it might look to voters based on what they do know, its much worse. The infighting is off the charts. You got a Chief of Staff who despises cabinet members, advisors who despise the Chief of Staff, a President and First Lady having their own issues
Would not surprise me in the least that this is true. Obama is clearly in waaayyyyyy over his pointy little head.
They have screwed the pooch so badly since taking office that this year is going to be disastrous for his party and 2012 could well see him out on his keister.
Poor little Barry.
Maybe a few more galas or some golf will make it all go away.
