Try a little tenderness

We've all seen plenty of examples of Obama's irritability. Despite what he claims, and even despite his poised and oh-so-cool demeanor, Obama - the man who seems to display passion in no other way - gets overtly and obviously angry when faced with almost any kind of disagreement or critisism. People describe him as "non-confrontational", and say that he doesn't wish to lower himself or to compromise the dignity of his office by engaging in argument, but that's neither entirely or exclusively true. It's true that Obama......

The words obama and true should NEVER be used together.

"Obama - the man who seems to display passion in no other way - gets overtly and obviously angry when faced with almost any kind of disagreement or critisism."

John Lott: If I can just make one other comment about my interaction with Obama in Chicago?

Dave Bose: Oh yeah, sure.

John Lott: And that is when he made the statement about believe that people shouldn’t be able to own guns, I said, “Well, maybe we can get together for lunch and we can talk about it.”

John Lott: And because I knew he was also supportive of the Chicago suit against the gun makers.

John Lott: He just grimaced and turned around and walked away and that was the end of the conversation. And that’s the way many conversations went that I had with him and I believe just in general he really disliked talking to people that he regarded as conservatives.

Dave Bose: He didn’t even say goodbye? He just grimaced and turned around?

John Lott: Right.

Dave Bose: Or, did he say no thanks?

John Lott: No, he just turned around and walked away.

Dave Bose: Not even the usually polite, “Yeah, we’ll do that sometime?”

John Lott: No. I mean, and there were cases in later years where I would reach out to shake his hand and he would just refuse my hand.

John Lott: There was one seminar for example where he had asked a question. He only went to a couple of seminars the entire time he was there. He didn’t do any research or anything. He was basically brought in just to teach and as I understood as a way to let him run for public office. It was kind of understood that that was what he was going to do to begin with, because if you’re only teaching three hours a week and you’re not having to do any research, it gives you a lot of flexible time to go and campaign for office.

John Lott: But, he had asked a question in a seminar and I don’t think anybody understood what the question was. I thought I did and so after the seminar went up to him and I said, “I think it was an interesting question. I think you could have rephrased it a little bit differently.”

John Lott: And again, he just turned his back to me and started talking to someone else. And it wasn’t so much that he just disagreed. I really got the impression that he really believed that I was evil because I had different views, particularly on the gun issue.

======================

an amused spectator sez: Obama is a thug Chicago Fascist. If Obama could have had some "hired muscle" beat down John Lott to shut him up and teach him a "lesson in Power", he would have.

Petulant manchild. I agree with the author. Poke, poke, poke away and he will surely not disappoint.
