No, really
The White House is pushing back against the growing narrative that Obama is “sitting on the sidelines,” as reported by the New York Times yesterday, and letting Congress do all the work.
As John Boehner spent the night trying to wrestle members into place to support his debt ceiling deal, Valerie Jarret reminded reporters yesterday that it was President Obama who was losing sleep over the issue.
“He’s getting absolutely no sleep. He’s working tirelessly, meeting with his economic team, doing a lot of outreach, exploring all kinds of possibilities for compromise,” Jarrett said.
Chief of Staff William Daley told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer last night that Obama has issued a secret plan for solving the debt crisis.
Said plan most likely involves……giving yet another speech, as he did this morning (I’m writing this at 1030am, set to post at 1130. Obama is already late to the podium, so, I’m hoping that he actually did give his Friday morning whine at time of posting).
Also, Barry is getting no sleep. Well, that usually happens when one realizes that you’ve wasted over two years of your life partying and screwing up you job, and now it is all on the line.
