The host of MSNBC’s Meet The Press, Chuck Todd, has written a book slamming Obama for not kissing up to Republicans enough. Todd’s book, called The Stranger in The White House hit newsstands just in time for Mr . Obama’s regular book shopping spree and needless to say, it caught the eye of the president.
“Oh, Chuck Todd!” Obama exclaimed. “Let’s see what Chuck has to say here!”
“How is he writing a book already? asked his 16-year-old daughter, Malia. “Sad.”
“He’s just sad,” the president joked in response.
Obama’s off-the-cuff pan was no surprise, considering what Todd thinks of the president.
The book, titled “The Stranger,” blasts Obama as a flip-flopping policymaker whose detached temperament has prevented him from implementing his ideas.
It includes what one reviewer called a “stinging indictment” of Obama’s time in the White House and slams the president as unable to fulfill his potential or work with those across the aisle.
