What happened to Obama’s First-Class Temperament?

Jennifer Rubin has an answer:

Jim Geraghty observes of Obama’s appearance in Ohio that the president was ”defensive, prickly, almost indignant that he’s found himself in the tough spot that he’s in.” That’s pretty much par for the course when things aren’t going well. I think that superior temperament thing only works when he’s on top.

  1. I think that superior temperament thing only works when he’s on top.

    The good side and the bad side of reading gay websites is that the jokes kinda write themselves.

  2. He is not used to having people successfully question his policies. Scott Brown’s win did that.

  3. Obama is always right. He is a legend in his own mind. His famous temperament is actually a practiced patience as he suffers fools silently. He has no particular dedication to anything other than radiating his perfect aura and bidding others to do the heavy lifting and getting the work done in accordance with his desires. If they fail, they have failed him.

    He stood before the assembled Congress and rattled off what was in the health plan and what was not. Of course, there was no actual plan, but that is but a minor nuisance of a point. When Joe Wilson exclaimed “you lie” to Obama’s lifting words, Wilson was wrong. Obama never lies. What he said and promised a moment ago was true when he said it, but time has moved on and now there are new truths to speak. He doesn’t even contradict himself. What was true then can not be true now, because the time and fate have changed and only he is really on top of the moment. Everyone else is mired in the old, tired, worn misunderstandings of the past.

    He is incapable of leadership. He can only delegate. He bears no personal responsibility, he merely passes it on to those he has named to bear the blame. What a guy.

  4. A common problem with many people to be honest: one way to see a man’s character is to see how he deals with set-backs. Sadly, he wasn’t that gracious or admirable as a winner either.

  5. He’s spent his whole life in the bubble where no one criticized him and everybody told him how wonderful he is. He really has no experience dealing with criticism or opposition.

  6. As a New York Jets fan, I was disappointed when Obama didn’t go to Indianapolis yesterday to give the Colts a last minute endorsement.

  7. Just curious: Did GW Bush bitch about how hard it was to be president the way Bammy does constantly… most recently, in Ohio?

  8. What V the K said. Both times.

  9. In his one on one interview I loved it when Obama said about the many problems he faces as President…..
    “I didn’t expect them to be so hard……”
    Of course not, all you ve ever been is a community organizer. It s a lot easier to have a park cleaned or to have a rally for a soup kitchen.
    Geez…..man up dude. You re embarassing yourself.
