Helen is not a shrinking violet, which is why I lerve her:
Veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas [...] shared some observations about the office’s newest occupant with Washington Flyer magazine. “I think he has to be very daring, [but] I think he plays it very safe, very cautious, which is probably smart, but I’m not sure he’s going to really be as bold as I want him to be,” said Thomas, who is known for voicing critical, usually liberal opinions during press conferences. “I want to see a real transformation—a caring for the people, not just giving a $700 billion bailout to Wall Street while Detroit suffers.”
