Obama blames press for his 'cold and aloof' image

President Obama blames the press for creating the image that he's aloof and disconnected from the rest of Washington, insisting in a new interview that he's just more interested in spending time with his family than in exchanging pleasantries with strangers.

"My suspicion is that this whole critique has to do with the fact that I don’t go to a lot of Washington parties and, as a consequence, the Washington press corps maybe just doesn’t feel like I’m in the mix enough with them, and they figure, well, if I’m not spending time with them, I must be cold and aloof," Obama said in an interview with Time Magazine released Thursday.

"The fact is, I’ve got a 13-year-old and 10-year-old daughter. And so, no, Michelle and I don’t do the social scene, because as busy as we are, we have a limited amount of time, and we want to be good parents at a time that’s vitally important for our kids."

It’s always someone else’s fault with him. What a dolt!

Hold on a second. The President is upset because he doesn’t have a social life?

HE’S THE F’ING PRESIDENT!!!!!

He sure makes it sound like this job is 9-5 and 4 days a week and he is being denied time with friends.

Obama orders his lackeys in the MSM to write articles making him warm and lovable. These pathetic little punks will soon comply. Expect to see article after article about how they get a thrill up their legs at how warm and lovable Obama is.

And expect article after article about how anyone who thinks Obama is cold or aloof is a racist.

It's never Bari's fault.

Always someone else to blame.

What a loser!

His family values of sodomy???? Forcing sodomy on the troops and in kindergarden. Putting a sexual deviate in charge of public schools. Larry Sinclair or Rahm and the bath clubs in Chicago??? Ya, we believe in his Cleaver family-—ya, right—he looks so “manly” wink, wink. We just thank God, he never had a son.

Being flooded with Marxist ideology — there is no sexual morality. His mother was a teenage whore (Rev. Manning)-—and having an evil grandfather giving him to the known pedophile, Frank Marshall Davis, to mentor. Sick, sick mind to pervert a boy.

You can bet, zero’s worldview is putrid and his worldview has to be masked at all times—but not to the Van Jones’ Marxists. They know exactly who and what he is. Zero, a deserted boy, in desperate need for a father figure and he gets a bunch of sick minded abusive muslims for a “dad” and then a sex pervert as a teenage mentor. He was probably sodomized in Indonesia in the madrassas.

He is probably a psychopath.

“cold and aloof” is just a cover for

“I don’t dare say anything without my teleprompters, so I’ll avoid speaking.”

This guy is simply a paranoid delusional. And a sociopath. He requires the adoration...not that he’s alone in that regard, but it’s to an abnormal degree in his case.

"cold and aloof" or "Old Doofus"?

"Is the media making me look like an idiot???" "Nah, you're managing that all by yourself."

“that’s what makes me nervous. What are they up to with that? Somebody that high up in political food chain telling you…sayin’ to lay off the Ron Paul – Soros stuff…what for?” -White House insider's account of conversations within the Obama White House.

I went to your link. It is very interesting. They talk about higher ups in the Obama White House supporting Ron Paul. They mention Soros’s name. They say Ron Paul is going to help Obama get a second term.

Throwing the press under the bus! Haha! I wonder just how much the press is willing put up with before turning on him. But, I suppose, it’s like an abusive relationship.

The press will suffer and indignity or abuse because the alternative to this socialist Rat is unthinkable
