Maybe it was the upbeat mood of a man about to go on vacation, but President Obama seemed feistier than usual in making the case today for his policies on surveillance, health care and immigration reform.
During his second term, Obama has sometimes seemed back on his heels in defending his policies against Republican attack, but that wasn’t the case in his White House news conference Friday. He argued for what he called, at one point, “common sense” solutions, with seeming confidence that he has the upper hand politically against the GOP.
Obama’s attempts to hold the middle ground, and seek bipartisan solutions, have sometimes seemed like fool’s errand in this year’s intensely partisan Washington. But on the issues of surveillance, immigration and even the bogeyman of “Obamacare,” the president talked Friday with the seeming assurance that it’s the Republicans who are isolated and out of step, rather than the White House.

Feisty.....like an angry gerbil.
Republican attack? I thought they were all liberal reporters.
He calls all his stupidity “common sense.” Any evil thing he wants people to accept he calls “common sense,” though he has no idea what that means.
“feisty”: totally unfounded, not credible, ridiculous
“Republican attack?” *snort*
Petulant if you ask me.
He puffed up his pink feathers, trying to look like a man.
Unimpressed.
Putin will “have” him for lunch.
Hi Ignatius. Please enlighten us to all of the “bipartisan solutions” Øbongo has sought. Name one.
Dear Jeff Bezos. You have $250 million in your change cup in your car. Dissolve the Wash Post now.
Spoiled brat comes to mind.
More like ‘embarrassing’.
A load of bull about the NSA
Demagoguery as far as the eye could see on healthcare
Breathtakingly condescending and petulant snipes on Russia
This man is a GRADE A FAILURE. I hope to neuter him in 2014 by removing dingy race-baiting Harry in the senate.
Any instance -- and I do mean ANY instance -- of Baraq holding anything like 'middle ground', or seeking any bi-partisan solution that isn't simply 'my way or the highway' -- would be helpful here.
Petulant if you ask me.
I was thinking of "snippy," though "petulant" will do as well.
Not one word of this article makes sense. Not even “Maybe.”
nothing about obama is sensible.
If Obama were running for President and the incumbent’s NSA were in out-of-control super-spy mode Obama would be non-stop talking about privacy concerns.
I heard a few excerpts and I noticed how he distanced himself from the mess as if the NSA works for Congress and not him. No one in the press will ever grill him in any depth and the few questions Obama is asked he does a Castro-esque monologue. It’s like we are in Cuba.
Well, it does, if you understand Ignatius’s goal:
Newsprint fellatio of the first black illegal alien president...
Putin has already had him. Obama is a wuss and Putin knows it.
Forget it, Jake. It’s the Compost.
The article could be about Barry being caught with three boy prostitutes in his hotel room.
The WashPost headline: ‘President Mentors Young People.’
“Newsprint fellatio...”
Great observation. The slobbering hyenas worshiping their Marxist god. Nothing more. Propaganda is more honest than this drivel.
Is that a Richard Gere joke? /s
Nothing quite like a feisty jerk.
Lying sack o’ (youknowwhat)
On Twitter he says “I am a columnist and novelist.” I told him he put the novelist hat on while writing this.
lol
“Newsprint fellatio of the first black illegal alien president...”

All typical of the WAPO and the Nu Yawk Slimes.
Actually, it's deeply embarrassing -- the extent to which the MSM will go to praise Obama and hold him harmless.
He speaks nonsense, he makes a fool of himself, he demeans his country, he insults other international leaders...but all without consequence in the domestic MSM.
Shameful.
The CnC was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli!
The Washington Post - losing $ 100 million a year, lost 7 percent of its subscribers in the past 6 months, still kissing tail to the end. Good riddance to a horrible excuse for “journalism”.
It’s certainly not going away.
It was just purchased by one of America’s richest elites.
Either that or David Ignatius is more the "bend-over" type.
Impeachment File on Communist, Benghazi Coward “B. Hussein Obama,” formerly known as Barry Soetoro, currently a Legal Citizen of the Sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
Like an old man returning soup at a deli, His Majesty Barrack II feistily blab blab blah blab blab and the birds broke into human song praising his Feistiness and more BS .........
