After reading and hearing President Obama’s snarky comments made on his campaign swing through North Carolina yesterday, I couldn’t help but re-read the following story from last week in which the White House did contortions to try and say the trip is just about jobs, not about politics.
President Obama will kick off a three-day bus trip through small towns in politically competitive North Carolina and Virginia Monday, but White House officials insist the trip is about jobs, not votes.
So much so, in fact, that they convened a conference call Sunday to reiterate that point several times, pointing out that the trip is fully on the taxpayers’ dime, not the president’s re-election campaign’s.
The Obama campaign — er, sorry, the White House — is right about one thing: You and I funded every snarky word.
