Mark Halperin beclowns himself

The Time magazine "journalist" comes across as a bespectacled pre-teen, looking longingly at all the kids in their clubhouse having a swell time.  Gee, they're a cool bunch!  Ann Althouse accurately calls this piece "a particularly silly example of press love for Obama."

This section in particular caused me to LOL:
Romney also has the luxury of an open schedule. Although without the gilded mantle of the presidency, he can spend every waking hour as a full-time candidate, while the President is required to do his day job.
Oh yes, it's a non-stop schedule of fundraisers, golf, posh parties, campaign stops masquerading as "policy speeches" and checking boxes.  Obama's so busy, he just doesn't have time for press conferences or passing economy-killing budgets.  The poor man should take a vacation.

Damn straight! As that list shows, these last few years have turned the White House topsy-turvy. Because at least Bush signed a few economy-killing budgets.

The quacking over vacations (*2009-present only) makes the teleprompter circle jerk seem wise.

The teleprompter has a better chance of producing a budget.

Even the teleprompter didn't vote FOR Obama's budget.

A teleprompter would have had wittier comebacks.
