“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. That’s not in my prepared remarks, but it’s true,” he told a crowd largely consisting of union members.
How pathetic is that? Poor Barack. No one likes him. They say mean things about him. George Bush (not to mention Ronald Reagan, no matter what the left says about him now that he's gone) took eight years of the most viscous political abuse a man has ever had to take and you never heard him whine. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Obama has never had to do anything really hard in his life. Previous to the presidency, all he had to do was show up and let people fawn over him. He expected the presidency to be the same but, of course, it's not. Being president is hard. Everything doesn't just fall into place upon your command. Others with differing views fight back against you and say things you might not like. And he can't take it. He hates the criticism that goes with the job and you can tell it eats at him.
Two years ago he was the new messiah. Today he's a president who's administration is falling apart. Day by day he seems to become smaller, more petty, and less consequential.
As with the oval office rug misquote, the twitterers had a ball with this. My favorite?
@jtLOL Who’s a good president? Obama’s a good president, isn’t he? Yes he is!http://bit.ly/aUvfps
