Ø’s mad because someone spoke back and challenged his authoritay.
Exactly. Except that in place of ‘mad’ I would put ‘furious’. You don’t challenge a Malignant Narcissist. Not one who rides around on AF1, certainly. The ‘folks’ are supposed to admire him, not ‘second guess’ him. So you are right; he is hissy-fit mad.
But what will he do? Normally when the ‘folks’ provoke him, he punishes us. I.e.: he executive orders something we hate. Thus he gets even & has the last laugh.
Except that now the Dems are turning on him because they can see him making it impossible for them to even survive, much less gain seats, in Nov. & they are also looking ahead to ‘16. Obama is poisoning the electoral well, & finally some of the true believers are figuring it out.
So if Obama lashes out at us, he further alienates Dem pols, who (unlike Obama) have to face the ‘folks’ in Nov. If Obama doesn’t lash out, his fury will eat him alive.
He’s in a classic Catch-22. This can only further unhinge him, & force even more disastrous decisions/moves. It is not a fun time to be a Dem up for reelection, that’s for sure.
