From the Washington Post today:

some Democrats complain, that the president was barely focused on the economy at all.
His advisers described his attentiveness – noting, for example, that he discussed the economy with New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I) for 15 minutes before golfing – but got little traction.

These advisers must have been texting the Post from a golf came too. No one’s working overtime on spin, even, anymore.
