Newly Elected Massachusetts Senator Says Obama Should "Recalibrate How He Wants to Govern"
Obama: Anger management and outrage
by Mark Silva
President Barack Obama gets it, both he and the White House are saying todayhe gets the "anger and frustration" exposed by the special election in Massachusetts that cost his party a filibuster-proof Senate.
That said, a reporter asked the White House today: "When does President Obama get angry?"
"I've seen.... uh, look...'" replied a cautious press secretary, who appeared interested in dispelling the "No-drama" myth surrounding a cool and collected president but not in sharing any family secrets.
The press, spokesman Robert Gibbs noted, has pointed out that "the president seemed exercised' when he has spoken of the excesses of Wall Street. That gets the people going, Gibbs said, and it gets the president going, too.
"I can assure the American people that there are things that get him going," Gibbs said of Obama, adding. "You don't see the president pounding on the desk for the sake of political theater."
