Obama permanently out to lunch

Dan Spencer on America's part-time president:
Yet that's precisely what the Associated Press noticed in a new report this morning. The first line: "It's awfully quiet at the White House these days."

Sure, when you have a president who spends most of his time on the trail spinning rhetoric and fundraising for his campaign coffers, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will tend to be "awfully quiet." This might explain why while our Libyan ambassador is dead and our embassies are under repeated siege, the White House still appears to know next to nothing about what went down in Benghazi. Even top Senate Republicans are fuming today that they are learning more details from the New York Times than from closed-door State Department briefing. Unemployment is rising in half of the states, and US industrial production is falling at the sharpest rate in three years, and our President is focused on hard-hitting interviews with radio hosts like Pimp with the Limp. On David Letterman, he casually admitted that he doesn't know what the national debt is, and that it's not a pressing concern.
