Shocker: White House not issuing congratulatory statement to GOP tonight

If you’re staying up until the wee hours of the morning waiting for the Alaska election returns, good for you. If you’re waiting for some reaction from the White House to tonight’s election results, forget about it.

No official reaction from WH to GOP taking control of Senate. Nothing more expected tonight, per officials.

@Acosta @NoahCRothman I am sure blubbering and wailing while curled into a ball was deemed un-presidential, so they opted for no comment.

"Amazingly, the White House is not putting out a statement tonight congratulating Republicans" —@Acosta on #CNNElection

By “amazingly,” he means “not amazingly.”

CNN: “Amazingly, the White House is not putting out a statement tonight.”

The White House not putting out a congratulatory statement tonight is the essence of this spiteful and uncouth administration.

@charlescwcooke Not surprising at all.

That’s still not quite the word we’re looking for.

@charlescwcooke Chickenshit.

That’s the one. So where is the president anyway, just out of curiosity?

@charlescwcooke They gave O his bottle and put him to bed around 10. No statement to be had.

That sounds like Biden’s M.O., not Obama’s.

@charlescwcooke @iowahawkblog Shhh. Can't. Night golfing.

That’s it.

Expect morning announcement of time and venue of Pres Obama statement or news conf for reaction to election results.

No, expect this.

No White House statement tonight, but huge clouds of sand and foul language expected over a golf course tomorrow.
