Obama calls Chuck Todd ‘sad’ | New York Post

By Kathianne Boniello November 29, 2014 

The commander in chief doesn’t think much of the man who labeled him “The Stranger.”
Shopping at a Washington, DC, bookstore Saturday, President Obama spotted a copy of “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd’s new book about his presidency.
“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.” [How did Obama write his two works of mixed fiction? m/r]
“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.
