Outsourcing must be hitting the news media hard. Because you have to go overseas to get any critical or even objective reporting on the Obama administration.
The Daily Mail’s Don Surber is anything but chuffed with The One’s work habits: “Barack Obama is too busy posing for magazine covers to actually do the job to which he was elected.
“There is a price to be paid when a president throws a party every other night, weekends in Chicago or Camp David and poses for magazine cover after magazine cover.
“After 51 days in office, Barack Obama has appointed only 73 people to 1,200 jobs that require Senate confirmation.”
The London Independent reported: “Last week, it was all smiles and handshakes as Gordon Brown and President Barack Obama put on a show of unity in Washington.
“But yesterday, Sir Gus O’Donnell, Britain’s most senior civil servant, exposed transatlantic tension when he protested that Downing Street was finding it ‘unbelievably difficult’ to plan for next month’s G20 summit in London because of problems tracking down senior figures in the US administration. ‘There is nobody there. You cannot believe how difficult it is,’ the Cabinet Secretary told a civil service conference in Gateshead.”
Since the White House seems to be having so much trouble finding enough people to answer the phones, maybe Michelle Obama could invite over some of those homeless people from the soup kitchen. They already know how to work cell phones pretty well.
