I thought McDonough’s appearance on Fox was an epic fail for the WH.
Wallace posed questions he just couldn’t answer. McDonough was flustered when going through the usual litany of things “this administration” has done, and included the fact that we’re pumping more oil than ever before. Wallace flatly stated, “But this administration had nothing to do with that”. Stutterfest ensued from McDonough.
He also couldn’t refute Wallace’s assertion that the President simply hasn’t acknowledged that his policies were defeated in the Mid Term elections.
Bwahahaha! As Rush Limbaugh says, ROLL THE TAPE!
“I am not on the ballot this fall,” Obama said in a speech Thursday. “Michelle’s pretty happy about that. But make no mistake: these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them. This isn’t a political speech, and I’m not going to tell you who to vote for – even though I suppose it is kind of implied.”
