Two big stories emerged from Pres. Obamas interview with New York Times reporters aboard Air Force One yesterday:
1. we have a whining, self-pitying president. 2. The Times scrubbed from its article the worst of the presidents comments, the ones that revealed him in that self-pitying light.
Fortunately, the Today show had the tapes, and played them this morning. According to Today, when President Obama met with reporters from the New York Times yesterday aboard Air Force One, his goal was trying to sound hopeful and reassuring. Mission not accomplished. As ambivalent as were the presidents putatively reassuring words on the economy, the delivery was even worsehalting and anything but assured. Be sure to view the video.
But much worse was his whining when it came to the burdens of his office:
PRES. OBAMA: I wish I had the luxury of just dealing with a modest recession or just dealing with health care or just dealing with energy or just dealing with Iraq or just dealing with Afghanistan. I dont have that luxury, and I dont think the American people do, either.
A bit later came this stunning statement, edited out of the Times story but broadcast by Today

For Obama, it’s always all about Obama.
Spot on. There are MANY Americans with darker skin who would make excellent presidents. They would be good and competent because they have character and have put the past behind them to lead for the future. This nut case, however, is a product of the 1960s black communist infiltration operations of the USSR. He was raise on communist ideology and black liberation theology. He has no business in this office and we will pay the price for his total lack of experience and his Bolshie mindset.
He was all fired up about the job until a couple of days after the election, when one of his staffers that was actually literate corrected him about the spelling of his newly-won office:
The title is "President", Mr. Obama - not "Present". It requires you to remove your Id, change the selfish "Present" to "President" and serve the People, instead of yourself. So knock off the Wagyu beef snacks, quit the whining, and get on the job...
Gibbsie will know you by name by the end of the week.
I would wear their disdain as a badge of honor.
Life sucks when you can’t just vote “present” anymore.
That NYet Times quote is stoopid. He’s the president. EVERYTHING will stop at his desk for approval or veto.
This job is above his paygrade. What a joke.
“Gibbsie will know you by name by the end of the week”
...and where he lives!
