Click over on Hot Air to watch Mitchell lecture a White House spokeswomanon the fact that leadership sometimes means taking ownership.
It should be noted that Mitchell’s role here is not as a journalist, but as a freelance Democratic political advisor, attempting to right the foundering Obama Ship of State. She’s not critiquing Obama, really; she’s offering what she intends to be constructive criticism. She’s doing her best to help them, by expressing her frustration and letting them know their spin just isn’t working.
Or another way to put it:Â Although I’ve always carried your water gladly, now you are demanding I carry too much of it, and it stinks like sewage to boot.
Among the points she makes — echoing Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar — is that Obama seems to have a surplus of spare time when it comes to The-Bear-Is-Loose photo ops, but finds that his schedule is far too tight when it comes to visiting the border.
When even MSNBC displays chyrons calling Obama out for his Gone Fishin’ style of presidentin’, the Prog King may be in some trouble.
Incidentally, you may not know this, but the Chinese symbol for “crisis” is actually made up of two other words: “Obama” and “Chillaxes.”
