"That's it, Jay. You got it."

Siarlys Jenkins said...: OK, I watched the video. It was boring, but the headline "Has Obama Given Up On Hope and Change?" is a complete non sequitir. Basically, the spokesperson gave an off the cuff account of some of the president's signature accomplishments.

That said, it would be a good idea to eliminate the office of White House spokespeople. This is basically a young twirp barely past the intern stage giving their opinion of what the President of the United States is thinking. Absurd. And reporters think it is worth their time to ask these questions? Pathetic.; January 7, 2012 at 2:59 PM
Gary Fouse said...: Siarlys,

Siarlys Jenkins said...: I don't care who he is married to, or even what degree he has. He is not the President of the United States.
