"A Restless President Weary Of The Obligations Of The White House

What’s so amusing about this week’s article from the New York Times titled, At Dinner Tables, Restless President Finds Intellectual Escape, is that the author appears to be quite sympathetic to Obama. She seems to want to portray the President as a real statesman; one who is so far above politics and the pedestrian task of being Commander in Chief that he finds it necessary to flee his responsibilities in order to find intellectual escape while dining extravagantly with “elites” in Europe. In contrast, he merely comes across as the arrogant, disconnected, oligarch coddler he is.

The article also seems to say something important about the New York Times’ own disconnectedness, particularly considering the paper’s Pentagon correspondent recentlyreferred to the American public as children, with the government and mainstream media playing the role of parents.

  1. this president made comments from the very beginning of his first term that he was weary, bored, not interested in this job. I remember reading about this and seeing it reported on. nothing new here; only that he has just about destroyed our nation. actually Valerie Jarrett has done this, he just went along with it because it suits his purpose...
