Obama Under Fire
And not just from Dems outraged over the president’s so-called compromise on a tax deal. No, the real feat apparently has been The One’s superhuman powers to resist the temptation of lighting up. This from CBS News:
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs acknowledged President Obama’s smoking habit Thursday — but said the president has resisted the urge to have a cigarette since March despite the pressures of his job.
…
“This is not something that he’s proud of, he knows that it’s not good for him, he…doesn’t like children to know about it, including his,” Gibbs said. “And I think he has worked extremely hard, and I think he would tell you even when it the midst of the tax agreement and the START deal and all the other things that accumulate, even where he might have once found some comfort in that he’s pushed it away.”
Wonder if lawmakers dropping the F-Bomb will put him over the edge? This from Roll Call:
The frustration with President Barack Obama over his tax cut compromise was palpable and even profane at Thursday’s House Democratic Caucus meeting.
One unidentified lawmaker went so far as to mutter “f— the president” while Rep. Shelley Berkley was defending the package the president negotiated with Republicans. Berkley confirmed the incident, although she declined to name the specific lawmaker.
“It wasn’t loud,” the Nevada Democrat said. “It was just expressing frustration from a very frustrated Member.”
Quick, somebody get Sen. Finistirre on the White House hotline.
