Fine, but find a better example than Kanye West. He has always been an idiot. Athletes have always been prone to outbursts. As has been said, most aren’t mic’d. Do you not think a Baseball manager has said what Serena said and worse in the past?

How has Beyonce been immunized from the terrible effects of Obama in all of this? Some people, like Kanye, are trash, others are capable of being being good gracious people. Who the President is has little to no bearing on that. I assure you, if Kanye is still around after Obama is out of office and a Republican is in office he will still be acting like this. Athletes will still be getting mad at calls made during athletic contests.

This is all a reach.

I’m sure there are much better examples out there without a history of this behavior. Find them and use them. Don’t try to make a connection that isn’t there.

I'm not making connections, but when Obama tells supporters to go out there and "get in their face", and when he says in his speech to the joint session that those who oppose his health care plans are liars (when he is lying about so much), then he is contributing to an atmosphere. His entire speech to the joint session had a tone seldom used by presidents.

I've just discussed mostly Serena, and made no specific connection to Obama. But the creating an atmosphere idea has been around for years, and Obama is creating a confrontational atmosphere that is consistent with some of this behavior. Specific connections are irrelevant. His behavior stands on its own.
