All we're getting is whispers from the press, of course, A raised eyebrow here, a sad shake of the head there. But the picture that is emerging of Barack Obama, the executive, is not very flattering if you look between the lines.

I wish MO would stay home long enough to choose a new rug. It makes me ill that he walks/stands on the beautiful carpet Laura chose for President Bush.
Most likely, suddenly, after this thread, you will see lots of pictures of The Oval Office desk with all kinds of what looks like work on it.
I think that he is not too comfortable in The Oval Office or White House. It’s probably seems kind of spooky for him to be in a place that represents the greatness of America when he really isn’t one of us and doesn’t like our country.
He seems to like to be on the phone a lot, though.
So - just how conservative can this fella be, and not know that Mr. Thompson is the founder of FR... Mr. Moran gave himself away when he couldn’t resist that too obvious added touch.

Same thing here. I understand the mentality - we do show outside what we think inside.

Yes.

We’re only one-eighth of the way through his term......Urrrrghh!
1) that fist-bump stuff is Sooooo Juvenile.
2) Rahm acts like he thinks he is the REAL President.
that's like high schoolers showing off their hickeys.
Good point. I suppose the Poseur President would say that his Blackberry suffices.
Never fear—those are from the dog BO, not her husband BO.
Run to the grocery store. You are almost out of Koolaid!
SNARF!!!
Barack Golightly. It has a certain ring to it...
Imagine Michelle in charge of the autopen...
I hope there isn't video.....
Here’s a bit from an article from CBS News that compared 0’s Senate office to McCain’s.
“McCain’s office oozes comfy clutter and informality: random piles of books, a fortune-cookie message taped to the desk, an abundance of tchotchkes and bric-a-brac.
Obama’s office feels more like a gallery of modern art: precisely placed objects, sparsely adorned surfaces, clean lines, choreographed displays.”
“Obama has been a senator only since 2005, and his office in the Hart Office Building has a fresh, clean look to it.”
The decor is carefully choreographed. When an assistant shifted the location of one painting while Obama was away, the senator had it moved back.
“He’s tidy. It stays tidy,” Tate-Gilmore said.”
And here are the quotes that seem so apropos to this thread:
“Obama’s office is as notable for what’s missing as for what’s there.
The credenza behind his desk contains a handful of file folders in one drawer, but otherwise is completely empty.”
And:
“Obama’s desktop, once used by former Illinois Sen. Paul Simon, is a testament to discipline.
It is home to two family photos, a very uncrowded inbox, a mug full of pens, and little else.”
“Are there any cracks in all of this office discipline?
Obama does doodle, his aides report.”

I wish I had seen this thread earlier so I could have shared this with more people. It doesn’t sound like he used his office to do any work when he was a Seanator either.
