According to the person sitting across from me...
When I asked this insider
if the media gave candidate Obama an assist throughout his campaign, it elicits a sly smile. Sure – we definitely had people in the media on our side. Absolutely.
We went so far as to give them specific ideas for coverage...
But after Obama was sworn in, things began to change? Almost immediately...
He clearly didn’t like the work of being President... the few News stories that did come out against him were the only things he seemed to care about.
He absolutely obsesses over Fox News... Barack Obama is incredibly thin-skinned...
And you state
he despises Joe Biden? Oh yeah. That is very well known in the White House.
Obama chose Biden for one reason – to have
an older white guy with some international policy credentials. Period...
What about Hillary Clinton?
Obama is scared to death of Hillary. He doesn’t trust her – obsesses over her almost as much as he does Fox News...
...Bill Clinton does not like Barack Obama. That really started when Obama played the race card against him during the primary campaign... and still hasn’t gotten over it.
Obama...seems to lack a certain focus and on a few occasions, actually leaves with the directive that be given a summary of the meeting at a later date...You start talking about Congress, or some policy, and he just kinda turns off. It’s really very strange. ...
we were all led to believe that this guy was some kind of intellectual giant, right? Ivy League and all that. Well,
that is not what I saw.
Barack Obama doesn’t have a whole lot of intellectual curiosity. When he is off script, ...Lots of ummms, ...there was a definite letdown when you actually hear him talking without the script.
He just doesn’t strike me as particularly smart.
So how bad are things at the White House these days? ...It’s not good.
As bad as it might look to voters based on what they do know, it’s much worse. The infighting is off the charts...
Come again – what about the First Lady? (The insider takes a deep breath) Ok, look, just like any other marriage, folks have issues. The Obamas are no different... not so much the stress of the White House, but the stress of personal issues...
Ok, back to President Obama then... When
you take away the crowds, Obama gets noticeably smaller. He shrinks up inside of himself.
He just doesn’t seem to have the confidence to do the job of President, and it’s getting worse and worse. ...just a few days before I left, I saw first hand the President of the United States yelling at a member of his staff. He was yelling like a spoiled child. And then he pouted for several moments after.
I wish I was kidding, or exaggerating, but I am not. The President of the United States threw a temper tantrum.
But
would another four years of an Obama presidency be the best thing for America? (Long pause) ...
No.
Obama is not up to the job of being president. He simply
doesn’t seem to care about the work involved... Obama is lazy. He really is. And it is getting worse and worse. Would another four years of Obama be the best thing for America? No it would not...
Hillary was ready to be president. Obama was not ready. He had never lost a campaign.
Everything was handed to him. He doesn’t really understand the idea of work – real, hard, get your heart and soul into it work. And frankly, that is very disappointing to a whole lot of us…
