Intellectually Lazy
Others have pointed out the irony of the White House calling Barack Obama "intellectually lazy" but I think this mischaracterizes them. I think it's more accurate to call the White House "anti-intellectual" because clearly in all areas of policy their motivation has always been ideological dogma and maintaining their party's grip on power, although these days the latter motivation has seemed to all but evaporate into "insulate the president at all costs."
