More from it:
Again and again, he put Republicans down with sarcastic asides, berating them like naughty schoolboys for bringing in a copy of the 2,400-page Senate health bill as a "prop" and informing them of the need to "get our facts straight".
Typical Alinsky "Rules for Radicals" tactics, utilizing Rules 5 and 11
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
Professor Obama is convinced of his own intellectual superiority. When his pupils fail to realise that he knows what is good for them, he simply repeats himself in the expectation that the simpletons will eventually understand.
Although Obama graced the health-care summit with his characteristic silky eloquence, the event was both a sham and a failure. A sham because it wasn't a genuine stab at brokering a compromise between Democrats and Republicans but an attempt to portray Republicans as the block to "progress". A failure because Republicans defied expectations by presenting measured philosophical objections to the bill and outlining sensible alternative approaches.
Many of us warned the Republicans to boycott this sham:
Health Care Summit Rope-A-Dope
The Republican's did well and took the high road, while Obama and the Dems slivered like snakes through the dirt.
Final comment: Why do we have to seek out honest commentary such as this from the Brits? This is yet another example of the US MSM being in the tank for Obama!
