Obama Lonely in Office, People Mag Says (Media Pity Party for "Barack") - Barf Alert
CBS News ^ | Friday, January 15, 2010

Posted on 01/16/2010 5:40:12 AM PST by kristinn

First lady Michelle Obama's 46th birthday is on Sunday, just a few days before President Obama marks the first anniversary of his inauguration.

People magazine sat down with the first couple to talk about the past year.

Betsy Gleick, People's executive editor, filled "Early Show" viewers in on the candid session.

Gleick said the headline of the interview is that Michelle and Barack are optimistic about the country's direction, but that there are huge challenges ahead for the U.S.

"Early Show" co-anchor Harry Smith pointed out that the president talked a lot about "being in the bubble" of the powerful office.

Gleick called Barack's words on the subject "touching."

"He just talked about the loneliness of the job. And some of the loneliness, he embraces. He realizes that he has big decisions that he alone needs to make," she said. "But he misses being out among regular people."

Smith said rhe People magazine photo spread is among the best he's seen of the couple.

Gleick said the pictures show the genuine affection between the President and first lady.

“Early Show” co-anchor Harry Smith is a nothing short of a media man whore whose pimp is the Long Legged Mack Daddy. He's gotten to the point of being unwatchable without an accompanying industrial strength garbage bag to hurl into.

NO doubt...with a beast like Michelle hovering around the halls, there’s really no way Obungle can sneak extra nookie into the oral office, and I hear Larry’s busy anyways.

Lonely? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I’d be lonely too if I was trying to destroy the country in which I was President. Resign, you marxist fool!

America is “lonely” for leadership.

Challenges a good dictator can’t overcome.

I don’t like their form of optimism.

The caption reads: “She’s been understanding as First Lady”. ???????????????? WTF?!!! Understanding? These two are quite a pair. A couple of self-centered ingrates.
