"It's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we're talking with each other in a way that -- that heals, not in a way that wounds." -- President Obama, speech at Tuscon memorial service, January 12, 2011.
"The [Suskind] book amounts to a drive-by shooting of a president and his key economic advisers who deserve encomiums, not unfounded second guessing and inaccurate revisionist history." -- Former Obama car czar Steve Rattner, writing at the Politico, October 2, 2011 [emphasis added].
So less than nine months after President Obama pronounces pious words about talking "in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds," the Obama White House sends out a designated hitter to accuse a respected author of a "drive-by shooting" of the president and his advisers. Nice. [Via Mike Allen's Politico Playbook.]

” the Obama White House sends out a designated hitter to accuse a respected author of a “drive-by shooting” of the president and his advisers.
I think the Obama white house needs a visit by a congressional committee, for attempting to plant the “seed of assassination” by suggestion.
Brilliant use of thesaurus award to the author! +2 points! LOL
I had to look up the word, too. This journalist definitely looks the other way when it comes to writing for a 6th grade education — show off! LOL
Could the author also have used “hagiography?”
