Obama After Dark: The Precious Hours Alone (NY Times LOL puff piece alert)
NY Times ^ | July 2, 2016 | Michael D. Shear

Posted on 07/02/2016 8:32:13 AM PDT by Zakeet

Mr. Obama calls himself a "night guy," and as president, he has come to consider the long, solitary hours after dark as essential as his time in the Oval Office. Almost every night that he is in the White House, Mr. Obama has dinner at 6:30 with his wife and daughters and then withdraws to the Treaty Room, his private office down the hall from his bedroom on the second floor of the White House residence.

There, his closest aides say, he spends four or five hours largely by himself.

He works on speeches. He reads the stack of briefing papers delivered at 8 p.m. by the National Security Council staff secretary. He reads 10 letters from Americans chosen each day by his staff. "How can we allow private citizens to buy automatic weapons? They are weapons of war," Liz O'Connor, a Connecticut middle school teacher, wrote in a letter Mr. Obama read on the night of June 13.

The president also watches ESPN, reads novels or plays Words With Friends on his iPad.

Michelle Obama occasionally pops in, but she goes to bed before the president, who is up so late he barely gets five hours of sleep a night. For Mr. Obama, the time alone has become more important.

[Snip]

To stay awake, the president does not turn to caffeine. He rarely drinks coffee or tea, and more often has a bottle of water next to him than a soda. His friends say his only snack at night is seven lightly salted almonds.

"Michelle and I would always joke: Not six. Not eight," Mr. Kass said. "Always seven almonds."

“Obama After Dark: The Precious Hours Alone (NY Times LOL puff piece alert)”

Uh...maybe the word “puff” is the wrong word to use.

You could be accused of being homophobic....

“He is thoroughly predictable in having gone through every piece of paper that he gets,” said Tom Donilon, Mr. Obama’s national security adviser from 2010 to 2013. “You’ll come in in the morning, it will be there: questions, notes, decisions.” BullShite! Except for the Intel Report

Oh Reggie I need you.

Perhaps Obama can invite the gay naked Times square guy to the white hut.

Anyone else feel Drudge kept his pic up there a bit too long?

He had no business being elected to the presidency. America’s greatest failure.

“How can we allow people to have automatic weapons of war?”

This just keeps on going and people don’t understand that even tho those weapons look like automatic weapons you have to pull the trigger one shot at a time, just like any other gun. They are not automatic!
