Vernon Jordan, a longtime Democratic Party wise

Vernon Jordan, a longtime Democratic Party wise JeepFuckedAgain2013-10-15 07:10:39Vernon Jordan, a longtime Democratic Party wise man, agrees. “Consultation is not in the DNA of the Obama administration,” Jordan told me. “Some time ago, while Obama was on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, he invited me to join a foursome and play a round of golf at the Vineyard Golf Club in Edgartown. I was paired with the president’s assistant, Marvin Nicholson, and the president played with Mayor [Michael] Bloomberg, who at the time was being considered as a possible replacement for [Timothy] Geithner as secretary of the treasury. When the round of golf was over, the president immediately left. And Bloomberg turned to me and said, ‘I played four hours of golf with the president and he didn’t ask me a goddam thing.’" “The Obama administration resembles the [Jimmy] Carter administration in being closed like that,” Vernon Jordan went on. “No matter how obstructive the Republicans may be, Obama has the responsibility of leadership. I’m worried that he’s overplaying his hand in saying that it’s all the Republicans’ fault. That may be true, but what are you, Mr. President, going to do to bring them around?” At some level, Obama is aware of his own shortcomings.

He doesn’t learn from his mistakes, but repeats policies that make our economy less robust and our nation less safe. He is, in short, a strange kind of politician, one who derives no joy from the cut and thrust of politics, but who clings to the narcissistic life of the presidency. According to Lawrence Summers, who served as secretary of the treasury under Bill Clinton and director of the National Economic Council under Barack Obama, “Obama really doesn’t have the joy of the game. Clinton basically loved negotiating with a bunch of other pols, about anything. If you told him, God, we’ve got a problem. We’ve got to allocate all the office space in the Senate. If you could come spend some time talking to the majority leader in figuring out how to allocate office space in the Senate, Clinton would think that was pretty interesting and kind of fun. Whereas, Obama, he really didn’t like these guys.”I haz no cubicle. :( § MissMounty2013-10-15 07:09:01nycthanks, i just need to kick myself in the ass 2013-10-15 07:08:58and jumpstart better habitsI have a window! § Freak_Magnet2013-10-15 07:08:19Read it, hell I've live it § 2013-10-15 07:08:07unk“I sit here all day trying to persuade people to JeepFuckedAgain2013-10-15 07:07:47“I sit here all day trying to persuade people to do the things they ought to have sense enough to do without my persuading them,” Harry Truman once lamented. “That’s all the powers of the President amount to.”unkno i don't § FairCognac2013-10-15 07:07:18unk"i hate the USA" § FareCognac2013-10-15 07:06:40unkI'm looking at homes in Boise online...
