It had to happen eventually. This president is too thin-skinned to take the high road for very long. Yesterday, at a labor rally in Milwaukee, Obama went off his prepared remarks (a big mistake for him!):
[O]ver the last two years, that’s meant taking on some powerful interests — some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time. And they’re not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. (Applause.) That’s not in my prepared remarks, it’s just — but it’s true.
If Obama wants to know how bad it might get, he should review the comments about George W. Bush during his last two years in office. He might also note that Bush never whined publicly about the abuse.
The fact that the president thinks he is being compared to a dog is sad, however, for him. I will leave it to psychologists to figure out why he made that comparison, but on the surface it smacks of serious self-pity.
Oh well, Obama should have known all along that he who the media anoints, the media eventually destroys — it’s the only way they can feed their news cycle.
