The Importance of Being Earnest

The Politico's getting a little fed up. Obama the scold:

The White House says Obama’s admonitions, whether to the Supreme Court about campaign finance law or to Congress about pork-barrel spending, are simply part of his drive to change the ways of the capital.

“A central part of the president’s vision for bringing change to Washington is fulfilling one of his earliest campaign promises: telling people not just want they want to hear but what they need to hear,” said Josh Earnest, White House deputy press secretary.

Get rid of this kid. Too earnest. Or let's say the wrong kind of Earnest. There's earnest, and then there's Earnest: Leave us alone. Let us get on with our lives. Stop spending the country into oblivion! (If we want to spend ourselves into oblivion, that's our prerogative--don't take OUR CHOICE away from us!!!)
