A review of Mr. Obama's calendar as posted on the
White House Website, shows that the president failed to hold even one meeting with his highly touted Economic policy adviser,
Gene Sperling, appointed earlier this year. Although, the Vice President, Joe Biden, conducted 6 meetings with Mr. Sperling on March 29 and 30, on April 15, 24 and 28 and on May 4th. The Vice President's meetings also inlcuded OMB director, Jacob Lew. However, Mr. Obama is not mentioned as meeting with either of these principle players on his economic team, despite the economy's poor performance.
Yesterday, we reported that
Mr. Obama doesn't work very much, according to the White House website. In May, the president worked less than
4 hours a day when in Washington. A close look at Mr. Obama's work habits suggest a deeply disengaged President.
