Do Jihadists Get Swine Flu ? Obama War Room #1
Sunday, 21 June 2009
Washington NeoCon Magazine investigative reporter Ron Blather tells Fox News that he has a highly placed White House source who secretly taped Obama War room meetings and has provided him with transcripts, some dating back to the campaign.
"I've vetted the material, and it's legit," says Blather. "What's really interesting is contrasting what the principals said behind closed doors about an issue vs. what they put out for public consumption."
Asked for an example by Fox News Anchor Bret Baier, Blather cited the swine flu scare and read a portion of a War Room transcript that began when Vice President Joe Biden arrived at the White House to share his views on the crisis with Obama and his advisors:
OBAMA: Joe, what's with the mask and gloves? You look like you're doing an autopsy.
BIDEN: Rahm sneezed when I arrived, Boss. Let's quarantine Washington like FDR did in 1953.
OBAMA: Nah, overreaction. Tell you what, though. Cancel your engagements, lock yourself in your office, and for god's sake, get those TARP funds spent. You're a good Democrat, Joe, and it's not your money. What's the holdup?
BIDEN: Everybody who's wanted money has gotten it, O, and there's still plenty left. How 'bout we go transnational and bail out Africa? Make you more popular there than Bush.
OBAMA: True. Tell Pelosi and Reid I want the Troubled Africa Relief Program passed by Tuesday. Uh, Leon, you don't have to raise your hand to say something.
PANETTA: Um, permission to use the bathroom, sir?
OBAMA: Just hold it for ten minutes . . . . I don't mean that literally, Leon. Hey, morale's OK at the Agency?
PANETTA: Not really, sir. Morales was posted to Mexico last week, and he wasn't happy about it.
OBAMA: No, not "Morales." Morale. How's morale?
PANETTA: Oh, well, I've spread the word, sir, the word being, ''high standards.'' No messing around with co-workers, obey the lawyers, respect jihadists.
<b>]BIDEN: Mr. President, you're shaking your head and weeping. Are you ill, sir? I have an extra mask.
Blather reports that shortly after this meeting, the White House ordered Director Panetta to switch his office from Langley to a corner in Rahm Emanuel's suite in the West Wing.
