Un-Liberaled Woman

The World’s Worst Press Secretary in the Wooooooooorld is at it again. Cue the circus music! (via HotAir)

Here’s Gibb’s lame attempt at trying to excuse his boss’ double standards when it came to his big night on Broadway – $73,000 of taxpayer money to be exact.  I mean doesn’t this guy make $400k/year. Can’t he pay for his own stinking dates and vacations??? I make like 1/8 of that and just paid for my own trip to NYC with the husband. Now we have to pay for Obama’s too. Ummm, cheapass!

Not that the president isn’t allowed to have date nights, but I thought we were in the worst recession since the Great Depression. If so, take your ball and chain out to Applebee’s with just the Secret Service. Don’t invite the entire WH press corps and pay for their travel with taxpayer funds when most of the press corps. has affiliates already in NYC that could cover the big night out.

But I guess that would get in the way of the press corp covering his ass:

Obama’s rhetoric brims with inconsistencies. In the campaign, he claimed he would de-emphasize partisanship — and also enact a highly partisan agenda; both couldn’t be true. He got a pass. Now, he claims he will control health-care spending even though he proposes more government spending. He promotes “fiscal responsibility” when projections show huge and continuous budget deficits. Journalists seem to take his pronouncements at face value even when many are two-faced.

I honestly think the MSM thinks the rest of America is too plain dumb to notice the huge AND obvious flaws of this administration. And maybe they’re right. I  mean this guy got a pass from the MSM for two years on the campaign trail and people voted his Carter-impresario self into the HBIC chair. Way to go, America! I don’t have enough fingers to count the # of times I’ve heard voter remorse on Obama.

But stunts like this and the Obama administration’s refusal to address them reminds of a post from Sarah, when one of Obama’s colleagues from the Harvard Review told her accurate account of his work ethic:

[W]hen he was at the HLR you did get a very distinct sense that he was the kind of guy who much more interested in being the president of the Review, than he was in doing anything as president of the Review.

A lot of the time he quote/unquote “worked from home”, which was sort of a shorthand – and people would say it sort of wryly – shorthand for not really doing much. He just wasn’t around. Most of the day to day work was carried out by the managing editor of the Review, my predecessor, a great guy called Tom Pirelli whose actually going to be one of the assistant attorney generals now.

He’s the one who did most of the day to day work. Barack Obama was nowhere to be seen. Occasionally he would drop in he would talk to people, and then he’d leave again as though his very arrival had been a benediction in and of itself, but not very much got done.

I mean why do your job ethically as promised now that you’re in the position. Doing it any other way would sidetrack from his previous behavior patterns in his work.
