Question: did I hear that he also said something to the effect that “you’d better not make it sound like he didn’t care about people…” did, did he say something along those lines to you?

Now, he was very specific, he said he was mad that we kept going… he didn’t want to see us on CNN, so I’m assuming Glenn, that we can still go on FOX and other channels, and criticize him, but apparently he was frustrated that we were going on TV to criticize him, his first visit, down there… the very first time he comes to Louisiana after the oil spill, he pulls me aside, and a publicity stunt, he’s is angry, and I can understand if he was angry about the bureaucratic response, the oil spill, the loss of life, Glenn, I would’ve understood that, it would have made sense to me.
He was angry about a bureaucratic letter about food stamps, he said “careful, this is going to get bad for all of us,” Glenn, you got a White House, a President, that seem more worried about perception and politics, rather than actually cutting through the red tape, and in the book Leadership In Crisis I’ve got all kinds of stories of red tape and bureaucracy, which cannot move quickly… (end)
