Get that Man a Teleprompter!
NRO ^ | December 7th,2010 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 12/07/2010 5:08:43 PM PST by ColdOne

We’ve learned today that what really gets under his skin and makes him boil is criticism, and especially criticism from progressives. Only a man of the left could care so much about attacks from the left wing. Only a president who is extremely thin-skinned would let criticism bother him so much that he’d — relative to his usual affect — erupt in anger in public about it. Only someone who desperately hates the position he’s in now, having to try to accommodate political realities in a center-right country and kiss his former messiahship goodbye, would show such peevishness. We got a good look behind the curtain for a moment this afternoon, and it wasn’t pretty.

There’s no info at the link that I see that explains what it is he did. Maybe I missed it or maybe it’s just crappy reporting. Can you summarize?

Good one. And the comments were good, too.

'The best part of the whole rant was when he essentially called his own base "sanctimonious." Pretty sure avoiding that is in Chapter One of "The Compleat Idiot's Guide to Electoral Politics." '

It’s all about the holy grail.

Typical liberal, he still does not get us. Like all liberals, they have no conservative friends and cannot understand or care what we think.

This peevish weakling is what you get when you coddle someone because he is “disadvantaged”. All the special favors done for him caused this lack of strength of character. Too bad the lapdogs in the Democrat-run media didn’t check this man out before the clueless voters stuck the USA with The Worst President Ever.

I missed it, what did he do?

I’ve been in the emergency room of the veterinary hospital for about 6 hours today.

Hope all is ok.
I turned him to mute, I’m sorry. I cannot listen to him.

He had a press conference and got upset. He tried to explain why he made the tax deal with the Republicans. I hope all is well now for you.

Trust me, you can get better insurance if you shop around a little. Ours not all THAT gold plated, but as far as I know they still allow us to use the *people* ER.

:-)

But seriously, I hope your sick pet is better.

"Erupt into anger?"

I didn't see it. What did he say or do?

Yeah but what specifically did Obama say? I didn’t see anything there about his comments other than to say he was snippy.

Thank you.

Medical care for pets has become a dicey business in LA in recent years.

Little chihuahua, Fidel, has a collapsed trachea. $1,100 today, $2,125.60 over two days. I’ve spent more on his healthcare over his 8 years than in my whole life for me!

They are keeping him in an oxygen chamber tonight ... and sedated.

The best I can tell he called Republicans hostage takers, and is obviously upset that they don't appreciate his brilliance and infallibility.

Thank you so much.

And I have to keep Obama muted as well. :)
