So, is this the daily outrage? Obama doesn't like M&M's? Stop the presses!
I believe that's an impeachable offense. Add it to the list.
37) Took M&Ms out of bag of trail mix and would not eat them.
38) Believes people around him who do their jobs poorly are a hindrance. What an ego!
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates was asked what question he would ask potential presidential candidates, he said the greatest presidents were all men who “
never considered themselves the smartest guy in the room.”
Gates said, “
I think the question is, what kind of people do you want around you to advise you? I think that the — there is a great quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. about FDR. He said he had a second rate intellect but a first rate temperament. I think if you look at our greatest presidents, Washington, Lincoln, both Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan, they were people who had a first class temperament, and so they never considered themselves the smartest guy in the room, but they wanted the smartest people around them and they could take their advice, shape it on their own instincts and own views. I think the kind of people that a candidate wants advising him or her is critically important. The rest of it is, I think, you know, you can’t predict the problems that a president will face.”
Now compare the above SEASONED EXECUTIVE's observation compared to Obama's narcissistic opinion of himself:
“I think I could probably do every job on the campaign better than the people I’ll hire to do it,”
he said. “It’s hard to give up control when that’s all I’ve known.”
Obama said nearly the same thing to Patrick Gaspard, whom he hired to be the campaign’s political director.
“
I think I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,”
Obama told him.
“I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

Again... compare the attitudes of the GREAT Presidents that had much bigger and more impactful decisions to make with this pin head!
As opposed to the last Republican president who was a dumbass and surrounded himself with other dumbasses and sociopaths? I'd rather deal with someone with an ego.
Of course you would! YOU want a rock star as president ...someone who doesn't want to be bothered with big details when there are
so many more pressing problems like "owww... M&Ms get them out of my sight!
As far as Bush... guess you don't remember THESE EVENTS happening and what a traumatic affect they would have if Obama
had been president who was more concerned with the poor Muslims that died piloting the planes!
Obama would have said it was OUR FAULT those poor muslims attacked the USA!
YEA... all the while concerned with making sure there were NO M&Ms in his sight!!!

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. According to the FBI, the ensuing investigation became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement".[1]
