Awww. President Obama is working so feverishly convincing grandma that John Boehner wants to kill her, he’s losing sleep. At least that’s the narrative his staff is pushing to make it appear the roadblock-in-chief is not the one actually blocking the road.
Wipe your tears away as we hear from that purveyor of conventional wisdom, Reuters:
President Barack Obama is deeply involved in trying to win a debt deal and his White House was working flat out, aides said…
They’re so busy they haven’t had time to actually write a plan.
“He’s getting absolutely no sleep. He’s working tirelessly, meeting with his economic team, doing a lot of outreach, exploring all kinds of possibilities for compromise,” top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett told Reuters Insider.
In Obama-speak, “compromise” means “doing what I want.” He’s working tirelessly on ways to obfuscate that.
Several press conferences and a prime-time televised address to the nation by the president from the stately East Room, plus a background briefing by senior Obama aides that went late into Friday night, have added to the controlled frenzy at the White House.
Obama’s concept of “work” is babbling to the media. Listening to the fool is even harder.
This has translated into even longer days than normal at the White House, which already begin in the early hours of every morning as senior staff prepared for their daily 7:30 a.m. meeting in the office of the chief of staff.
Boo-hoo. Life would surely be easier if members of the Obama administration spent a bit of time amongst the legions of “funemployed” where their policies have put so many others. Someday soon, if we’re lucky.
