Putting the “syc” in sycophant.
When Obama answers a question, you don’t slap your forehead and moan, “Oh, brother!” He is, as guest expert David Gergen noted on CNN after the news conference, not only “up to speed” on the pressing issues of our time but also articulate about addressing them in a friendly, accessible way. He’s not the student who wears a button that says, “Smartest kid in class,” but clearly he is, at least when surrounded by the White House press corps.
I don’t think Shales even got his own joke in that last sentence.
