Dana Perino: If Obama Has Time To Tweet, ‘We Should Re-Examine’ The President’s Responsibilities

Video
» 113 comments

The news that President Obama will soon start personally sending out real messages through Twitter likely has some of his supporters excited, but Fox News contributor Dana Perino was left wondering how he has time for such activities? She appeared on Fox & Friends and was less than enthused about the prospect of seeing tweets coming directly from Obama.

Perino did admit that “inauthentic tweets are really annoying” and that she “unfollows” anyone on Twitter that has such boring, not real messages. Yet she wondered “maybe we should re-examine the roles and responsibilities of the President of the United States” if he has time to use Twitter?

The Fox & Friends hosts thought it was a strange time for Obama to announce that he would become more active on Twitter, just as Anthony Weiner lost his career because of it. Yet maybe Obama’s decision to personally tweet is not only a way to reach young voters, but also his attempt to prove that with Weiner gone, Twitter is finally safe again for all to use?

    yes using twitter is an awful idea. This is why fox and friends is the punchline of every joke.

  • BatBoy

    Dana is on top of the issues as usual.

    Maybe the President could better spend his time to learn how jobs are created in America.

    Obviously he has no clue.

  • BatBoy

    13.9 Million Americans are out of work….as reported by MSNBC this AM.

    13.9 Million- WOW!

    Maybe the government could spend a few hundred million and get 20 – 30 more Green jobs.

    But then again, he is losing more Green Jobs every day with the Trillions he has already spent.

    And another hypocrite lines up for their “damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t,” moment. As I recall, Perino spent a lot of time saying, “The president is in Crawford this week……”

    I happen to agree that Tweets from the president directly are probably in poor taste at best, but it is not about time usage. This endless assumption that all presidents must spend 24 hours of every day hunched over a phone or conference table is just goofy. Not even during WWII was that the case, and these media (both sides) knuckleheads know it.

    Eric Cantor could use a lesson in that, as well. Paul Ryan certainly needs to learn this. As could Pelosi, Reid, McConnell and the rest of the 534 thieves and liars that work under the dome. Not one of them has a clue about creating jobs, since they have the ultimate government job – no direct supervisor, no way to be fired, setting their own pay and benefits, working 3 or 4 short days a week and only 40 weeks at that. They have no need to show a profit and – in fact – intentionally operate at a loss.

    Maybe Congress could use the 12 weeks they spend taking bribes (make that accepting contributions) learning how jobs happen in a capitalist society.

  • Sanders Youth

    George W. Bush vacation days:

    487 days at Camp David
    490 days at Crawford Ranch
    43 days at Kennebunkport Compound

    Total: 1020 days, more than 1/3rd of his presidency. Bush set the record for most vacation time taken by president.

    So STFU Dana.

    An enormous part of the Presidency is time management. Fromt he time they wake up till after they go to sleep (get woken up) they are on the job and there is no end to decisions, briefs, phone calls, etc. Read a book on what its like to be President, maybe you’ll get a clue. This President is perhaps the most unengaged of any in modern history, though that’s partly his style. His style of leadership is to be symbolic, those around him have an idea of what he wants but no idea of the details, they have to work it out for themselves. Name one issue where the current President was out in front of an issue instead of following what others had already spent a lot of time on. I can’t think of a single issue that began and was driven by the President. I’m sure some exist, at least I’d like to think they do, but on all public or policy issues I’ve heard about he’s stood behind others while they do the heavy lifting and deal with the details.

    Reminds me of what Bush said after he was given the August 6th memo in Crawford saying “Bin Laden to attack in America”, he said “Okay you covered your ass”. Not only was the guy on vacation he didn’t give a shit when he was chopping wood or whatever fake cowboys do. And you drips want to complain about the black guy tweeting. You people are children.

    I have no problem with either. I have a problem with a hypocrite like Perino sitting there commenting on time usage by presidents when most of her time as press secretary was giving out the president’s vacation schedule. For her, it was OK then, but not now.

    What everyone tends to ignore is that modern day presidents take the office with them everywhere. All of the communications, key aides and so on travel with them literally everywhere. The whining about vacations, golf and the rest is just pure nonsense.

    While I’m sure the ‘discussion’ has moved away from the actual topic of the story and onto something else, but seriously, you guys act like posting to twitter is an hour long event. it isn’t rocket science. It doesn’t take long to write 140 characters. That’s why it took off like it did. It’s not complicated.

    That’s just crazy, isn’t it? Hey, who’s that guy sitting to Obama’s left? He looks just like Jeff Immelt! How crazy is that?

    Next you’ll be telling me that with tax credits GE receives , not only do they not pay any annual TAXES , but US tax dollars will be purchasing the vehicles for them . This cant be true .

    I’ve never been a fan of Dana Perino, if I wanted to get the message out quickly why shouldn’t I use twitter?

    Former President Ronald Reagan was known as the great communicator. Few people know that one of his favorite forms of communication was the written word, and I’m sure if Twitter and other modern technology was around in the 80′s Reagan would be using it too.

    Great Book if you haven’t read it is Reagan : A Life in Letters

    A tweet is only 140 characters tops (yes we are talking about Barry so did it come from him or his staff?) Perino needs to get over herself on this.

    Don’t see a problem with Perino. Very level headed and articulate. She has a point – the Pres. is having fun playing with toys. Give me a break.

    Yeah, great Dana, regale us about Obama’s “spare time”, while YOUR boy spent more vacation time than any sitting president while YOU were around.

    .
    I’ll have to get that one. Reagan in His Own Hand is compelling. Anyone who can read that and still claim that Reagan was a dolt and his presidential persona was created out of whole cloth and parroting his handlers is simply not credible.

    Who do you think you’re kidding here?
    Bush spend 1020 days on vacation during his presidency..that’s a third of his mandates being on vacation while dragging the country in 2 wars….
    And you’re bashing Obama for wanting to tweet himself?
    Are you insane?
    Man that Obama bashing thing is getting very annoying.

    Dana Perino….now here is another idiot who epitomizes all the things that are wrong with the GOP and tea bagger parties. She was perfectly molded to represent human garbage like dubya, dick cheney, tony snow and the neocons who have destroyed the soul of the Republican Party and yes…twisted GOP ideology. That is because all current day republican voters, republican politicians and republican pundits live in an alternate universe where reality simply does not exist. It is a state of mind type of reality that is reserved for those who live in denial of truth and are hypocrites who cannot find anything filthier than their own personal reflection. It is a reality where it is OK to think that you are somehow conservative and moral while your entire personal life simply is not and day to day survival depends on how well you distort the truth and assassinate the character of those around you who do not conform to your skewed personal views on everything. That sociopathic house of cards mentality is your current day republican and / or teabagger so get out your torches and pitchforks folks because that is the face of current day conservatism if you want to join their charade….

    Don’t you have anything better to do , Herr Olbermann ?

  • lane

    Wow, Obama’s marketing folks are really idiots. The economy and jobs are in bad shape, who wants the optic of a president on Twitter.

    Pres should change the account Team Obama or something else so that, yes, people realize its his staffers.

    How can he tweet when there is SOOO MUCH brush to cut!

  • labman57

    Yeah, because sending out a tweet is soooo time-consuming. Since when is it a bad thing for the POTUS to use technology to communicate with his constituents?

    Remember, if Obama has time to kiss his wife, play with his kids, and take a crap, then the terrorists have won!

    Perino, the “Baghdad Bob” of the Bush administration, is relying on that standard intellectually-lazy FOX News political tactic: “When it comes to everything Obama, we’ll damn him if he does, and we’ll damn him if he doesn’t.”

    How can he tweet when Barry has another round of golf to play?

    There Joey, fixed it for ya.

    (from CNN) Golf Digest magazine has ranked president Obama ahead of both Bush and Reagan, but behind Bill Clinton — who was known to practise his putting in the aisle of Air Force One.

  • Stratdude

    The dumbest press secretary to the dumbest president in the history of the country on a full-scale crusade to out stupid her fox sewer fellow bimbos.

  • valkyrie101

    I didn’t realize that Perino was that old. Must be that high-def makeup because her best quality is still just being cute.

  • Lolwut

    So.. people think the president is never travelling anywhere and sitting in a chair long enough to use the cell phone for a sec? Are people uninformed enough to think typing a tweet takes all day or something? Sounds like people are looking for any little thing to complain about at this point. I mean seriously, it’s not like he’s playing playstation in the oval office. By the way, he does get off work at some point during the day. Just saying..
