Sawyer: Obama Still Working When W Would Be In Bed
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

And he’s hard-working, too, unlike that previous guy!

Sharing with America President Obama’s daily schedule, Diane Sawyer managed to work in a little shot at President Bush’s early-to-bed habits.

[H/t FReeper library user]

DIANE SAWYER: For the first time, we have details this morning on the new night-owl presidency. We have the president’s schedule: compare it to yours. He hits the gym at 6:45 AM, does weights and cardio. He reads several paper, eats breakfast with the family, sees his daughter off to school, both daughters off to school. Then makes the 30-second commute to work, landing him in the Oval Office at 9 AM. A lot of snorting around here about that.

His office day, by the way, ends at 10 PM. And the former president used to be in bed by 10 PM. So, the night owl has arrived.

Bush started his day hours earlier, ended earlier and was spending the day defending the nation instead of plundering it like Obamination.

“A lot of snorting around here about that. “

Well...there’s the problem. Lay off the cocaine and you might see that Barry just isn’t as great as you think he is.

When one has presented so many conflicting positions and represented that one holds them all, and then one actually has to make decisions, One can soon resemble that Muslim invention, the whirling dervish, or is it pervish? Yes, the whirling pervish. Time for a smoke, no doubt. Hey, man, everything’s cooool!

That Sawyer assumes she can already determine a pattern to Obama’s work schedule after about one week shows what a thorough reporter she is not.

Of course, she’s really just participating in the slobberfest, and her report has nothing to do with serious journalism.

Actually what she’s saying is that he takes time from his workday to have breakfast and dinner with his family.

Your post reminded me of something...

How come there are no reports of vandalism of the White House?

You can’t destroy America by only working 8 hours a day.

I think he needs a vacation from all of those hard long hours. Why doesn’t he take a vacation for the next 4 yrs or so. Oh and take Reid and Pelosi with him. It would be the best thing he could do for the country.

>> How come there are no reports of vandalism of the White House?

Could it be because, whatever his faults, George Bush and the people he surrounds himself with have more maturity and class in their pinkies than Bill Clinton (or Barack Obama) have in their entire person?

Yea. I had all my school supplies the first week.
Did my homework after getting home. Had great breakfasts
before I went. Had a great routine.......
Then things went back to normal.

Write this three years from now and I’ll be impressed.

Perhaps Barry's the wrong guy for the job.

Doing your job and learning your job at the same time takes extra time.
