In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start ccing him on stuff. Look, I know a lot of you think Im really busy and you dont want to bother me, the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. But cc me anyway. Its good for me to keep up on whats going on around here. Its not good when I turn on the news and theyre talking about something at the White House and Im like, whoa, when did that happen? Mr. Obama added. I think ccing me would go a long way toward fixing that. Maybe put a Post-It note on your computer saying, CC POTUS, so you dont forget, he said as the meeting broke up. Afterward, the President told aides that he felt really good about the meeting and was really looking forward to people looping me in on stuff. But Mr. Obamas mood soured later in the day, sources say, when his e-mail address was left off a message bearing the subject line, Things the Treasury Dept. Is Planning to Do. Mr. Obama hastily reconvened his staff, telling them, Look, maybe I didnt make myself clear. Thats just the kind of thing I should have been ccd on. Even Biden got that one. Could one of you please forward it to me? As of press time, Mr. Obama had not yet received the e-mail.
