White House Insider: Obama “Celebrates Shortly After Delivering Tucson Memorial Speech”

“I cannot reconcile with that kind of behavior in a leader. There really is something missing in him. Some basic element of humanity.”
Regarding Obama’s attitude on this tragedy.
Here is something that you will never hear from the media but that some witnessed shortly after the memorial service had finished.
Behind the staging area, Obama gave Michelle a “high five” and shared a laugh with her.
So within minutes of seeing what is Obama’s finest moment as president it is followed by “one of his worst”.
It is this easy and always there contradiction in the president that concerns me very very much.
He was just thrilled at his performance. That was priority #1 for him. It always is.
The motivation for his speech was not to heal following the tragedy, but to further appeal to the public and get their approval of him.
It’s similar to that story I told you about Obama coming into the military meeting at the WH. He came in laughing and left early laughing.
Maybe a photo of the high five will be released?
I was told one was taken at any rate.
I cannot reconcile with that kind of behavior in a leader. There really is something missing in him. Some basic element of humanity. Or humility???
Even by DC political standards the human element in Obama seems to be utterly absent. I don’t get it. I don’t understand it. And that scares the hell out of me. So that’s my assessment of the Tucson speech.
Jarrett now remains. It’s “her” White House.
Will be very interesting to watch and see if Daley challenges that, especially if he has Chicago information that could compromise Jarrett/Obama
Oh, and also heard from reliable source Geithner soon to announce he is leaving.
He will be the next big name to drop in this administration. There was apparently quite a battle over that over last couple months but in the end Jarrett sided with recomendation he should step down. If Geithner has lost Jarrett’s support then he is in fact done
This WH insider has been correct on everything except Pelosi leaving & being damaging to Obama... He said she must have been offered a big deal & that’s why she was given the minority leader of House
Here’s my hate speech for the year:
“My fellow Americans, I hate the Obama Administration. And God Bless America”
End of speech.
