Does the WH have a war room?

[Nancy Waterman]

And if not, why not, and how do we convince them to have one?

1. Are you talking about the Situation Room?

5. No, political messaging war

Not national security issues.

2. Furthermore is fighting allowed there?

n/t

8. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the War Room! n/t

3. I think they should have one. In this day and age, it's essential

to keep control of messaging and have a rapid and forceful response to whatever bullshit is floating around.

[Nancy Waterman]

4. Rapid aggressive response is essential

They also need to frame the narrative before the GOP gets in there with their negative destructive message.

9. The problem isn't the room, but what happens in it.

I'm sure the President has plenty of offices, conference rooms, War Rooms (TM) that are perfectly suitable for managing political strategy.

The problem is that they've failed to manage their political strategy well.

6. WE are the ones in need of a war room....or at least a forum that does more than

mainly attack this President daily.

I think that's part of the problem.....
too much piling on to the Obama hate,
and not enough defending on our part.

7. No, but they have a flower shop.

I have no doubt that they are diligently researching which flowers go best with orange.

10. Yep, but the press decides who gets to go out and when..

... and a big chunk of the press is purposefully trying to block he message.
