President Obama has a packed day of international statesmanship at the United Nations tomorrow, but he’s squeezing in a bit of domestic politics as well.
Mayor Ed Koch, his longtime aide George Arzt confirmed, received an unexpected invitation to a gathering of dignitaries the American President typically hosts during his New York visit. This is far from a private audience, but it does seem to be the beginning of a courtship of the former New York Mayor who emerged as a real thorn in Democrats’ side this summer. Koch had not, Arzt said, been invited to the event in Obama’s first two years, and the invitation is hardly a reward for loyalty.
Neither Koch nor the White House suggested any private meeting with the president tomorrow, though with hizzoner having established himself as a kind of large-scale, symbolic swing voter, I suspect they have a good deal to talk about.

Of course Smith’s argument is absurd, especially the part about our notoriously thin-skinned and humorless president being in on the joke. Obama’s better at creating jobs than self-deprecation. Hey, here’s some mockery fodder… I see a bumbling, hapless President who wears a bike helmet in the Oval Office, is starved to death by his Food-Nazi wife (she sneaks french fries, he sneaks smokes), gets an uncontrollable facial tic every time the word “jobs” is mentioned, and won’t speak to anyone without a teleprompter leading the way.

Being President and dealing with these Middle East issues is really really difficult.
So true, UT, and the man to work with these difficult issues is PBO.
