NYT: White House advisors totally surprised by Obama-Clinton press conference

Oh, I’ll bet they were. Say what you will about Axe, Gibbsy, and the rest of the crew, but I’d like to think they have the basic political common sense to avoid photo ops where the president has to skip out after a minute or two to go eat gingerbread cookies.

I’d like to think The One had the same basic political common sense, but … we learn something new every day, don’t we?

The leader of the free world and the ex-leader wandered a deserted hallway, past the offices of the senior advisers, only to discover the door to the press corps briefing room locked.

[I still care]

I don’t think he was a great president. I’m saying he LIKED being president, which most men of conscience don’t.

They serve in humility, because they feel their country needs them. Like you said, Clinton spent his time chasing women and getting attention. And if people would stop bothering Barack to DO something, he would be having a great time too. He gets great golf perks, you know. And meeting Paul McCartney, that has to be fun.

The thing is, Clinton was smart enough to pull it off. The press was able to wallpaper over his presidency and make it look good. But even with all the MSM help, Obama is floundering.

I keep thinking, the MSM just went overboard for this man, gave him everything, and built him up like a god. And he STILL looks incompetent. He must be so much more foolish than we can possibly imagine.
