Politics: James L. Jones: Total Obama administration outsider?
- It took me a while to get the president to call me by my first name.
- Obama’s former National Security Adviser, James L. Jones • In the middle of Obama’s first year on the job. Jones’ stay in that position was a tad, shall we say, rocky. Word on the street is that he never felt comfortable in the job, and was an outsider in an administration full of insiders. This feeling was reportedly cemented by Bob Woodward’s new book, “Obama’s Wars,” which reportedly has the former general calling Obama’s right-hand men “water bugs,” the “Politburo,” and the “Mafia.” The book apparently angered him so much that he mailed it directly back to Woodward. So yeah, not good terms. source
