Obama niet zo vriendelijk als hij wil doen voorkomen

First-term New York Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney asked Obama a question about a Department of Energy loan application filed by Taylor BioMass, a company in Maloney’s district that the congressman thinks could create 300 new jobs with a federal loan. Maloney acknowledged that perhaps his question was better-suited for a White House staffer. “You’re right. You should have talked to staff about this,” Obama replied, leading at least one observer to deem Obama’s response “rude and dismissive."
