A top aide to President Obama says Americans must decide for themselves how to be civil with each other -- a rather sharp departure from comments that Obama has himself made in the past. In an interview with the WMAL Morning Majority Wednesday, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said the Obama administration is not going to be drawn into the "gotcha game" of reacting to comments made by Teamsters President James Hoffa, Jr. At a Labor Day rally in Detroit, Hoffa urged the President to use unions as his army to fight back against the Tea Party and "take these son-of-a-bitches out." Pfeiffer told WMAL that President Obama is not going to "serve as the speech police for the Democratic party."

Exactly. If he were any sort of leader, he would condemn such speeches and tactics, no matter who was using them.
We all know that he will not condemn a Democrat, and he cannot bother a union boss.
Just what I was thinkin’......:)
I meant to type “hell out of you”. But yell kind of works.
Oh my, yes. That was a colossal Freudian slip. When in fact, a significant minority (40%, I hear) of union workers are registered Republicans. It would seem that if the unions want to be more purely Democrat, they should cheer on right-to-work states. The Republicans won't bother being union because they won't have to.
MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! You stupid neutered tomcat!
“I meant to type “hell out of you”. But yell kind of works.”
I was on “reading autopilot” and read is as “hell” anyway...but yeah, “yell” kind of works too.
These statements, first by Carney and now this by Pfeiffer, make 0 look like such a hypocritical a$$hat.
It’s also a clear signal that this WH is in complete meltdown. It was once thought that Bill Daley would be able to bring some kind of adult perspective, but he seems to have failed. In the court of the Boy King, the jesters rule.
He’s happy to do it for the Republicans, though.
the Obama administration is not going to be drawn into the “gotcha game” of reacting to comments made by Teamsters President James Hoffa,
**************************************
They had no problem being drawn in when Perry made comments on Bernanke:
Carney: “Threatening the Fed Chairman is Probably Not a Good Idea”
Obama:”I think that everybody who runs for president, it probably takes them a little bit of time before they start realizing that this isn’t like running for governor or running for senator or running for Congress, and you’ve got to be a little more careful about what you say,” Obama said.
“But I’ll cut him some slack. He’s only been at it for a few days now.”
I remember when my kids were really little. It was quite an effort to get them to let go of the “I already did my share. She hasn’t done anything yet. Its not fair.”
Obama reminds me of that time.
I despise that attitude in people.
Be a man. Take responsibility. Focus on the solution, not the blame.
What a wuss.
that’s an insult to five year olds....zero is a petulant child- nothing more...
It would appear so.
You Lie!!!
They are finally admitting that the labor unions are part of the Democrat Party, however.
So, in other words, Hoffa speaks what Obamao is too scared to say.
I detest these subhuman maggots with everything in me.
Time for him to shut up & eat his peas.
