It’s adding up.

“I would say the one time during our stay here in the White House so far that has. . . .” He paused so long in choosing his words that Michelle Obama, sitting alongside him, prompted him. “Has what?”

“Annoyed me,” the president answered.

“Don’t say it!” the first lady mock-warned. “Uh-oh.”

“Was when I took Michelle to New York and people made it into a political issue,” he continued, recalling the evening last spring when they flew to New York for dinner and a show, eliciting Republican gibes for spending federal money on their own entertainment.

DC Scuttlebutt: Obama a ‘Chainsmoking, Nervous Wreck’
DBKP ^ | September 6, 2010 | Mondoreb

EXCERPT

We know it’s gossip and hearsay, but this was passed onto us via email.

re: Obama is a nervous wreck, chain-smoking incessantly, fretful and broken.

Spoke with a friend of mine in DC who is in very well-connected politically on the Dem side and I asked him about the mood in DC.

He advised me Obama is a shell of a man, second guessing himself non-stop, reeking of cigarettes and consumed with the color of his rapidly-graying hair.

Our informer goes on to say that they realize it’s “second party hearsay” but that it is “consistent with other reports I’ve heard.”

He says it really annoyed him when he and Michelle flew to New York for dinner and a show last spring, to grumbling about spending federal money on their own entertainment.

So I guess he musta been really PO'ed when Moocher Michele got lacerated for going on a lavish vacation in Spain.......then immediately went on a family vacation to Martha's Vineyard.

They don't look too happy on vacation in Martha's
Vineyard...even with all that lobster and ice cream.

I’m soooooooooo late getting here. I’ll never read all the comments, but I have read the article.

Do you suppose this “anonymous” source is reliable, just because it sounds reasonable and backs up similar to what we’ve heard before? I tend to believe this source...LOL.

I like the link maggie provided: we know he’s chain smoking and he’s lost a lot of weight.

I’ll only add, that I am still smartin’ from that anonymously sourced hit piece in Vanity Fair about Sarah.

I am thinking this might (or must) have come from a former Hillary/Bill associate.... maybe that Greg Craig who recently left the WH? Sorry, if his name has already been mentioned as a possibility.
