Burton admits presidential fallibility, is “disappeared” in Florida. (getty photo)
A brief exchange on Air Force One between Bill Burton, White House deputy press secretary, and the traveling press:
Q: The president said that he was going to make it better down there when this was all through. What is he going to do about the oppressive heat?
Burton: There are some things that even President Obama is not capable of. But, boy, you guys look terrible today.
Q. A motley crew, we are a motley crew.
We jest, of course. Burton is fine and said Obama called General David Petraeus after the latter collapsed in the middle of a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. Apparently, the general was dehydrated.
