Obama's Pet Peeves
Aides tell Politico what the commander-in-chief finds irksome:
--"Never put something on the calendar that interferes with his duties as First Dad."
--"The president dislikes it when 'folks try to get him to wear baseball gear for teams other than the White Sox.'"
--"He doesn't like to miss his daily workout."
--"He also doesn't appreciate the seemingly endless click-click-click of the cameras when photographers take photos of him."
--"Obama also confessed recently that one of his biggest pet peeves is what he calls 'the shine police' — aides and makeup artists who powder his face before he does television."
--"'If you spend too much time telling him where to go, how you get there, and everything in between, it drives him crazy.'"
--"Obama also doesn't like people to regurgitate what he's already read in a detailed briefing book."
--"Obama bristles when 'people talk too much at meetings and prevent others from speaking.'"
--"His best-known dislike: drama."
--"Obama 'hates being late.'"
--"Obama might have a new pet peeve to add to his list, Axelrod quipped: 'When aides share his pet peeves with reporters.'”
