Obama transition pains
THE ONE is starting to have a few problems with the press?
The White House press operation got off to a fumbling and stumbling start Thursday, with the day’s opening briefers insisting on being identified only as “senior administration officials,” followed swiftly by the new president’s spokesman accidently outing one of the secret aides less than two minutes into his first White House briefing.
The press is finally paying attention to the fact that Obama’s rhetoric doesn’t always match the facts. He made a big deal out of saying there would be no lobbyists in his administration in the number two guy defense was a big-time lobbyist. Whoops. Well, what he meant was if you work for him. Now all you can be a lobbyist until he’s gone. Well whoop-dee-freakin’-do.
