Awww: Team Obama Thinks Being President Is HardRemember the whole "Office of The President Elect" thing? I joked that that was the office Obama really wanted, lots of meetings, the chance to give lots of fun speeches to adoring crowds, plenty of time for waffles but no real responsibilities. Turns out, I was right. Almost a year and half on the job and Team Obama is pretty bummed that being President means having to deal with actual problems. And the worst part? You don't get to pick what happens or when. “All you can do is smile at the absurdity of these things piling up,” said someone who spends much of the day with Obama. Interviews with top White House advisers revealed little smiling in the past 10 days — but a sense that, in the aftermath of it all, they avoided two potential P.R. disasters and emerged with a clear sense of the argument Obama wants to take to voters over the next four months. As Obama might say, it's unprecedented that a President actually has to deal with crisis not of his own choosing. Except it is so obviously...not. This article really plays up a couple of absolutely annoying things about Obama and the people he surrounds himself with. They really think they are special, that everything that happens to them is newer, bigger and more important than anything that has ever come before. A quick glance at a history book will not only show that every other President has had to deal with unexpected problems beyond their control but many have had to deal with far more dangerous and intractable problems. The tone of this article also demonstrates the 'poor us' mentality of Obama and his team. What's with all the problems and decisions? More than a third of the guy's term is over and he still whining on a near daily basis about the nature of the job. Of course, that's when he takes a break from whining about the 'unprecedented' nature of all the problems he inherited. You'd think the smartest group of politicians ever to grace American, nay the world, would have considered the words of former British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. When asked what the greatest challenge statesmen face he replied, "Events, my dear boy, events". As always, Obama seems to think it would have or should have been different for Him. | Recent Comments
