President Barack Obama blames the press for creating the image that he’s “cold and aloof,” according to a new interview with Time magazine.
The reason? He doesn’t “go to a lot of Washington parties” and “mix enough with them”:
My suspicion is that this whole critique has to do with the fact that I don’t go to a lot of Washington parties. And as a consequence, the Washington press corps maybe just doesn’t feel like I’m in the mix enough with them, and they figure, well, if I’m not spending time with them, I must be cold and aloof.
The fact is, I’ve got a 13-year-old and 10-year-old daughter, and so, no, Michelle and I don’t do the social scene, because as busy as we are, we have a limited amount of time, and we want to be good parents at a time that’s vitally important for our kids.
Obama made his comments to Fareed Zakaria, the magazine’s editor at large, and also addressed his difficulties in working with Congress, blaming a lack of bipartisanship.
“You know, the truth is, actually, when it comes to Congress, the issue is not personal relationships,” he said. “The reason we’re not getting enough done right now is you’ve got a Congress that is deeply ideological and sees a political advantage in not getting stuff done.”

Obama doesn’t go to the office much either.
Ike is jealous of his golf time.
He’s not much into the work part of governing; it’s pretty frustrating when we don’t just all march lockstep-
What’s wrong with us? Don’t we recognize superior intellect and fall prostrate in obescience?
He lies everytime he opens his mouth.
Is that a hand on Tim Burton’s shoulder? If so, whose hand is it?
He’s not cold and aloof, he’s a Marxst.
That is exactly what I was going to say.
‘I Don’t Go to a Lot of Washington Parties’
Just the ones he THROWS. Sometime two a week, all at YOUR expense.
The lies just keep coming, and NO ONE in the media even dares to call him on it.
The Soros/DailyKos/Gay Lib attack machine is doing it’s job, keeping anyone who wants to keep a media job scared to ask anything but the pre-approved narrative.
These types of questions are released by Obama.
Great job, he is either on vacation or throwing parties.
PR is up and running MO and her "just not being understood" and now this with him. Poor misunderstood people.
No....The parties come to him.
Because twice weekly champagne and pate parties would really make him seem like a man of the people.
"Instead, I take several $4 Mn vacations a year and play golf with other Muslim Communists."
Barry and his fixers are going to be giving us even bigger whoppers as the weeks wear on.
Boo f***ing hoo! I can’t stand this Marxist pig!
What recession? Obama’s White House Parties-Good Food, Great Music, Fabulous Home (CNN fellates the One):

It’s the media’s fault....it’s Bush’s fault....it’s Boehner’s fault....
Seriously, has this man EVER said that ANYTHING is his fault?!
The press is carrying water for Obama all the time. The least he could do is hang with them at a few of their parties for a change. Why does it always have to be his party at his house? (sarc)
He doesn’t have to GO to them, he GIVES them!
