Barack Obama Goes "AWOL," Lindsey Graham Goes "Apeshit"
It's really too bad that President Obama decided to schedule a monthlong series of thumb-twiddling sessions for himself, just when Congress started working on the details of the economic stimulus plan. Why won't our lazy-ass commander-in-chief get off the sofa, brush the Doritos crumbs from his shirt, and do something?
President Obama has been "AWOL" in negotiations over the economic stimulus package, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday in a scathing rebuke of the new president.
Wait, wait, it gets scathingier…
"This process stinks," Graham told FOX News, before repeating a lot of his criticisms on the Senate floor. "We're making this up as we go and it is a waste of money. It is a broken process, and the president, as far as I'm concerned, has been AWOL on providing leadership on something as important as this." [...]
"I like President Obama, but he is not leading. Having lunch is not leading … and doing TV interviews is not leading."
Sure.
But doing TV interviews about how other people doing TV interviews isn't leading, now, that's leadership.
I love it when the Legislative Branch complains that the Executive Branch isn't writing legislation.
