"He was saying we should pull together and focus on what's important," recalled one senior staff member who was present and agreed to discuss the private meeting on the condition of anonymity. You know, more crushing of the American people's spirit and freedom--the important stuff.

This is a put up job. What senior staffer would be an unauthorized leaker ? Go to the Ulsterman site. The real story will bubble up there.

0bama has too many scams to fulfill before anyone leaves. Plus too many people know too much.

Maybe they know too much!
It is going to be interesting which WH staff member involved with Solyndra or Fast and Furious is going to go for immunity in return for their testimony.
Things have to be getting pretty dicey around the WH.

The blame ultimately belongs on him, Obama told the staffersBut in the meantime will continue to say it is all Bush's fault!

I don't believe the story for a second. It makes Obama sound like an adult and a plausibly competent executive -- which we all
know he clearly isn't.
My guess is that Obama burst into tears, cowered in a corner sucking his thumb or threatened to cut their Jesse Jacksons off and the LA Times "reporter" fabricated the covering story out of whole cloth to cover his breakdown.

It sounds as though Barry’s staff members are terrified about having to go out looking for a new job in Obama’s Hope and Change America. I don’t blame them.

Daley blamed Rahm the other day for Zero’s sinking numbers among women. But Daleys’ main role is to turn down his hearing aid while Zero screams at him for something he didn’t do. Thanks thecodont.

The LAT is happy to print the WH propaganda: Zero is in charge and bucking up his shaky subordinates.
Sure he is.

No need to blame the staff when you have George Bush to kick around.

Obama is going all in and he likes the cards he holds.
He should have listened to more Kenny Rogers.

In a criminal conspiracy, you don’t want anyone leaving. You can no longer control them and they might say something stupid ... like the truth!

At this point, nobody concerned with their future reputations would join this sinking ship of Rats.
He’s stuck with a bad hand.

“Plus too many people know too much.”
Yes.
And, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
To: doc1019
He can’t find anyone else who wants to climb on board his sinking ship.
