Burn-E Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 The President gives an interview to The New Yorker, a liberal bastion if there ever was one, to David Remnick, the Editor, who also wrote an extensive biography on Obama with extraordinary access in the process. You would think given how badly his Presidency is doing in his lame duck years he would look to spice it up and crow his plans and try to show a vision for the next 3 years. NOPE. He doesn't even counter this assessment of him which really speaks volumes about him as a politician: The most curious character on the plane was Marvin Nicholson, a tall, rangy man in his early forties who works as the President’s trip director and ubiquitous factotum. He is six feet eight. Nicholson is the guy who is always around, who carries the bag and the jacket, who squeezes Purell onto the Presidential palms after a rope line or a clutch; he is the one who has the pens, the briefing books, the Nicorette, the Sharpies, the Advil, the throat lozenges, the iPad, the iPod, the protein bars, the bottle of Black Forest Berry Honest Tea. He and the President toss a football around, they shoot baskets, they shoot the shit. In his twenties, Nicholson was living in Boston and working as a bartender and as a clerk in a windsurfing-equipment shop, where he met John Kerry. He moved to Nantucket and worked as a caddie. He carried the Senator’s clubs and Kerry invited him to come to D.C. Since taking the job with Obama, in 2009, Nicholson has played golf with the President well over a hundred times. The Speaker of the House has played with him once. A fact like this can seem to chime with the sort of complaints you hear all the time about Obama, particularly along the Acela Corridor. He is said to be a reluctant politician: aloof, insular, diffident, arrogant, inert, unwilling to jolly his allies along the fairway and take a 9-iron to his enemies. He doesn’t know anyone in Congress. No one in the House or in the Senate, no one in foreign capitals fears him. He gives a great speech, but he doesn’t understand power. He is a poor executive. Doesn’t it seem as if he hates the job? And so on. This is the knowing talk on Wall Street, on K Street, on Capitol Hill, in green rooms—the “Morning Joe” consensus.

Zappo Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Never said I was a pacifist. He spends way too much time watching Fox "News" and listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
