For four years I have been told, by those who’ve worked in the administration and those who’ve visited it as volunteers or contractors, that the Obama White House isn’t organized. It’s just full of chatter. Meetings don’t begin on time, there’s no agenda, the list of those invited seems to expand and contract at somebody’s whim. There is a tendency to speak of how a problem will look and how its appearance should be handled, as opposed to what the problem is and should be done about it. People speak airily, without point. They scroll down, see a call that has to be returned, pop out and then in again.
This was also true for Clinton, Carter and Kennedy. Johnson's people were more focused, but Kennedy's meetings all ended up like college bull sessions, including that all-important meeting in 1961 that led to the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
Republicans seem to be more focused and better organized than Democrats in general.
Yeah, right. They were amateurs whose only skill was making up good fables about themselves. And it showed. And then when it became too obvious, the pizza stories stopped.

President Obama has yet to make good on the administration’s promises that he would sign up for health insurance on the new government exchanges, the White House acknowledged on Monday.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said that Obama has not signed up for Obamacare and that he did have a reason for the delay.
A reporter pressed Carney on whether the White House would make it an open-press event if and when Obama does enroll.
“I’ll get back to you,” Carney replied.
Shortly after Obama signed the new health care law in March 2010, a White House official said the president planned to walk the walk and sign up for the insurance exchanges his law created.
“The president will participate in the exchange,” an administration official told USA Today at the time.
