Excerpt: Obama phoned in to deliver a "high-minded message," he writes. Obama went on so long that Pelosi "reached over and pressed the mute button on her phone," so they could continue to work without the president hearing that they weren't paying attention. --------------------------------------------

The text is from the top of page 3. I have long imagined that this is how it has been for the last 4 years.

I like to read the “print version” of online articles because it has the entire article on one page. I’m not sure why the regular version is often divided over several pages - maybe it’s to get more hits for their ads.

Haven’t we all? This marks the first instance where I’ve found Nancy Pelosi relatable.

Too many pages in the ObamaCare Act, too much verbiage from the Prez....blah blah blah, ‘Nancy the Pea-Brained’ simply can't absorb all that BS very well, but seem to regurgitate it VERY well.

I love it when San Fran Nan is asked to explain something. She stumbles all over herself incoherently ... much like the President. When you are lying, you can’t discuss something logically, because you are trying to remember what you said last. In Nancy’s case, it’s because she hasn’t got a clue.

So now we have both the empty chair and mute button archetypes to represent Obama.

Heh...I just finished the story and it looks like Woodward is finally turning on Obama. And it also shows that we were right about Boehner’s duplicity at the time...he was lying both to us and his own caucus over the $800 billion in new “revenues.”

The dirty little secret nobody will talk about is that many of the Democrat elites have little to no respect for Barry. They view him as somebody that got to the whitehouse without “paying his dues” and working within the Democrat establishment. Oh sure, they'll paint on a fake smile and work with him as long as he remains their ticket to power, but let him lose the election and watch the masks come off and the long knives come out in the aftermath.

I was a headhunter for the largest private university for quite a few years. I found faculty. There was one guy who used to call me regularly and whine and moan for awhile since I had told him a couple of times that he wasn’t qualified to teach with us.
Every time he called I would give him my spiel and then he would start. I would lay the phone on my desk, bang my head on the desk a few times, and then get up and walk to the kitchen for coffee. When I got back he was still yaking. Everyone thought it was hilarious.

I was on hte phone with a pretty high level constant whiner where I used to work. I put my feet up on my desk and leaned my head back and took a nap, waking every few minutes to say “uhuh.”
