Democratic Congresswoman Eleanor Norton Called “Strident,” “Self-Absorbed” and “Parochial” For Daring To Question Barack Obama To His Face
From the Washington Post:
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) had what some colleagues called “a heated exchange” and what she described as “a conversation” with President Obama during a White House meeting Wednesday afternoon regarding the District’s budget constraints as a result of the partial government shutdown.
Norton attended the meeting in the White House East Room with nearly 200 House Democrats and was one of a handful given the opportunity to ask the president a question.
When she was called upon, Norton pressed Obama to support a House-passed bill that would permit the District to use its locally raised tax funds to maintain operations until Dec. 15.
Democrats, including Obama, have held fast in opposition to such piecemeal funding bills, saying Republicans must come to a deal to fund the entire government, not just favored segments.
Making her point, Norton spoke over the president and refused to yield the microphone, according to a lawmaker who attended the event.
The lawmaker described Norton as “strident,” “self-absorbed” and “parochial” in her exchange with Obama.
But Obama held firm to his belief that Republicans should work to reopen the entire federal government and not pass stand-alone spending measures, said the lawmaker, who asked not to be identified in order to speak frankly and maintain relationships with colleagues.
