(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) Staffers say that “No Drama Obama” largely deserves his nickname. Nonetheless, there are ways to tick the president off. Politico lists his biggest pet peeves: When aides schedule events that conflict with dad/daughter time. People who try to get him to wear baseball gear from teams other than the White Sox. Missing his daily workout. Photographers who take a seemingly endless stream of snapshots of him. The “shine police”—makeup artists who constantly re-powder his face before interviews. Getting too-detailed instructions. “If you spend too much time telling him where to go, how you get there, and everything in between, it drives him crazy,” said one long-time aide. The biggest pet peeve: being late. “He hates inconveniencing people,” said another aide. "He hates being rushed, and he hates shortchanging someone.” Read These Next Ex-political candidate mired in sex tape scandal now has legal woes.
