On October 5, Obama was addressing Fortune magazine’s “Most Powerful Women” summit in Washington, DC. During the middle of Obama’s speech, the presidential seal fell off the podium. Publicly, Obama took the incident as a joke, but WMR has learned from White House insiders that Obama went on a tirade after the incident, accusing White House staffers of purposely not anchoring the seal to the podium. The White House supplies all the podiums and seals at all presidential addresses and the seal is usually well-anchored with four screws affixed to the podium. Obama reportedly “freaked out” and accused White House staffers of engaging in a conspiracy against him.
And it gets worse:
Some White House staffers have described a “reign of terror” in the White House over continued leaks and a *troika of leadership that is making decisions without any input from the president.
*troika - a modern Russian triumvirate
*triumvirate - a group of three men.... in this case....women responsible for public administration or civil authority
The troika reportedly consists of First Lady Michelle Obama, presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, and the president’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, who resides in the White House. Not to be deterred, some White House staffers have sought out journalists and have arranged to meet them at nearby Starbuck’s cafes to discretely convey to them inside information about the current disarray within the Obama administration. Some staffers have personally born the brunt of Obama’s temper and witnessed his extreme narcissistic behavior. WMR has also learned from White House sources that Obama is taking prescription anxiety medication.
We are starting to see a portrait of a man who is quite brittle, prone to fits of rage, and disengaged.
Wonder how the 112th Congress will affect Obama’s temper, his extreme narcissistic behavior and prescription anxiety medication?
