The Unknown Obama
Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Paul Ryan, Taupe, William Clinton
The Politico exposes a hidden Obama, unknown to the public at large:
He respects, and somewhat identifies with, the serious, innovative, and strongly conservative Rep. Paul Ryan from Wisconsin (!). How very, very odd. Obama certainly has not been taking any advice from Paul Ryan.
He wants to be like Bill Clinton, not Jimmy Carter. (!!) Wouldn’t that involve retreating on the idea of nationalizing American healthcare and moving toward the center?
And he really likes taupe.
[H]e likes taupe. In redecorating the Oval Office, Obama replaced Bush’s yellow sunburst carpet with and earth-tone rug, put up new tan wallpaper and swapped out a coffee table for a walnut-and-mica table. “I know Arianna [Huffington] doesn’t like it,†Obama said. “But I like taupe.â€
Now, that I can believe.
