WASHINGTON (BHN) -The White House is battling the perception that Obama is impotently "sitting on the sidelines" while Congress does all the work.
"He's working tirelessly, meeting with his economic team, doing a lot of outreach, exploring all kinds of possibilities for compromise," Valerie Jarrett told reporters yesterday. "The fact he's doing these things on a golf course in no way diminishes his efforts."
Jarrett also said that the President "is getting absolutely no sleep," but later admitted that she was referring to "during the day."
Much has recently been said on both sides about Obama's leadership during the debt reduction negotiations, none of it positive.
My comments: I don't know what these people expect of Barry, I don't think Community Organizer school teaches any "debt reduction planning" classes - cut him a break, already!
