"Jake Tapper did a great job putting Jay Carney on the spot today, asking him a pointed question about Obama’s seemingly non-stop campaign travel, the fact that most of his trips just happen to be in battleground states, and whether this means taxpayers are basically footing the bill for Obama’s campaign.
Of course, Carney denied the whole premise of the question. I guess we’re supposed to file all those campaign stops under “Official Presidential Business”, pretend the White House isn’t paying attention to what is or isn’t a battleground state, and take Carney at his word that the Obama campaign is going “by the book” when it comes to funding all these trips.
In other words, he thinks we all just fell off the turnip truck...." (Watch video? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Hot Air Blog "Boehner: The president checked out last Labor Day"
Tina Korbe:
"In a pre-recorded interview for CBS’ “This Morning,” House Speaker John Boehner called out the president for his incessant campaigning and confirmed that the chief occupant of the White House has lately made no effort whatsoever to work with Congress on any of the key issues that face the country.
Boehner particularly noted the peculiarity of the president’s pivot from an all-consuming focus last summer on arriving at a “Grand Bargain” on the debt and deficit to his present focus on a tax measure that would barely affect the deficit at all...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Comments: Aspen Times/Charlie Leonard "President should lead more and whine less"
Thank you, Charlie Leonard!
"But despite all that, here are three very important things to remember:
1. Being president is a hard job. It might be the hardest job in the world. The president acts as if he's surprised and more than a little frustrated by this reality.
2. The president also acts as if partisanship came about on his watch. The fact is that our politics have been extremely partisan for a very long time, but it hasn't stopped others from making progress. Look no further than some of our state capitals, where governors of both parties have been extremely effective at working with legislative opponents.
3. Our politics — and the makeup of the Congress following the 2012 election — are not likely to change in a way that favors the president. In fact, if he is re-elected, it will likely be harder given the president's decision to base his campaign on attacking Republicans.
