Struck a nerve that’s for certain.

[Braak]

When is Obama gonna learn, bad enough to pick a fight with a guy who buys ink by the barrel, but when electrons on a screen cost nothing?

[DallasDeb]

If the suppositions of the article were wrong, and the article was about GW Bush, then Bush would have never even bothered to recognize the article at all.

[DallasDeb]

In other words, Forbes hit a sore spot with Obama—one of truth.

[cynwoody]

Great strategy, Gibbels!

After all, the whole country hasn’t yet read D’Souza’s article. So, the White House must keep it in the news ...

[Pan_Yans Wife]

The most thin-skinned president, ever.

[FrankR]

Sorry White Party House...you can't UN-ring a bell.

[Westbrook]

What a thin-skinned crybaby.

Think of all the stuff that was printed and said about Bush, most of it FALSE, and Bush never uttered even one complaint.

For all his faults, at least Bush was a man.

0bama is such a baby.

Gee, what a surprise! Instead of meaningful discourse on the subject matter, we get 100% shoot-the-messenger ad hominem attacks. Like the beleaguered football coach who has called an unsuccessful draw play on third and long for the one millionth time, each time the libs trot out this tired approach, it becomes even less successful than the previous attempt.

[DCBryan1]

You get the most flak when over the target.

[pingman]

Ding! Ding! Posting of the week, IMHO.

I guess the modern version of the saying would be “Don’t pick a fight with a guy who buys ink by the barrel, or web servers by the rack.”

[Sacajaweau]

Obie doesn't really believe in the Free Press...or Free Speech...

Dictators are like that...

[Pollster1]

“How Obama Thinks.”

It's easy to discredit Forbes based on the title alone.

[sarasota]

The article mentions, at the end, that “the White House called in Forbes Washington Bureau Chief to read him the riot act.”

[Frantzie]

I cancelled Forbes because their columnist John Rogers was Obama’s earliest financial supporter and got him elected. Forbes made Rogers very rich even though he ia a middling money manager. I have no use for Forbes.

[opentalk]

Should be interesting if the book becomes a best seller.

Just for once, it might be nice to see the Obama War Room kick into “high gear” when America’s security interests were threatened, rather than when a conservative essayist wrote an article critical of the President’s priorities.

[McGruff]

Jeez. You would have thought they said
