White House Got Some Say Over Journalist’s Obama Story
The Weekly Standard ^ | 9/11/12 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 09/11/2012 11:04:00 AM PDT by NowApproachingMidnight

Mr. Lewis said there was one particularly moving exchange with the president that he wished he could have described in greater detail. But the White House nixed the idea, perhaps wary of having the commander in chief described as in tears.

Mr. Lewis declined to delve into too much detail because he said he did not want to violate the ground rules he agreed to, but he did offer that the president explained to him how the job exacts a heavy emotional toll.

Tears show a man’s sensitive side. Didn’t Boehner tear up on TV?

/S

I’m getting tired of all of the castratti in D.C.
I just saw Boehner all a blubber.
Where the *&^%*^%*&^ is somebody with some testosterone?
Did Pelosi steal it all?

We need statesmen.
We need leaders.
We need WARRIORS.

Enough of these metrosexual, touchy-feely pukes.

Oh please, this is like Hillary crying. Apparently, in Oprah World crying buys votes.

What are we hanging on to here?

"the president explained to him how the job exacts a heavy emotional toll."

Yeah, it must exact a really heavy emotional toll when you can't go golfing every day.

Face it Mr. Lewis. He wasn't crying over any emotional toll from doing the job, because he's never done it. He's crying because he knows his ass is getting booted in November. Plain and simple.

Send the crybaby home to Kenya. He's incompetent. Let him share a room with his brother.

As Levin said: The scary thing is that so many morons would re-elect this imposter.

Not sure I'd want to live in this country longer, but where does one go?

What was there in Obama’s background that gave ANYONE the impression that he was up for the job?

His month making cones at Baskin-Robbins?

His leadership of the Choom gang?

HE GAVE A SINGLE SPEECH at the 2004 Dem Convention, that he didn’t even write.

He’s crying because his socialist revolution couldn’t be completed in one term.

"Let him share a room with his brother. "

Now why would you do that to poor George? He wants nothing to do with the Pretender.

“president told Mr. Lewis how one evening after a particularly trying day, he sat down to watch a movie and surprised himself by suddenly tearing up.”

Has anyone, ever in their entire life, heard of one heterosexual man speaking in this way to another heterosexual man?

I certainly haven't. It sounds like Obama was trying yo get a gay sympathy reaction from Mr. Lewis.

I wonder if it worked.

Obama, “I'm so lonely, my job is so hard, no one loves me. I cry my eyes out every night. I need someone to love me, someone to hold me. Is that so bad?”

Lewis, “There, there. Let me give you a big hug.”

Obama, “Don't stop holding me, please.”

Like when she was worried about Chelsea on 9/11, because she was jogging down near the World Trade Center. Oh wait, that was a lie too.

Oh, please, a day that started at, what, 11:00 and ended at 5:00??!! He was probably sitting down to this movie by 6:30pm after having had dinner with his family. This is nothing but propaganda meant to play on the heartstrings of emoting women voters and men who are getting nearly as bad. I can't stand it anymore.
