Obama explodes on press corps with ‘profanity-laced’ tirade

A veteran White House reporter says President Obama went on a “profanity-laced” tirade during an off-the-record meeting with journalists sometime in the past year.

ABC News reporter Ann Compton, who retired earlier this year, told C-SPAN that she witnessed Mr. Obama’s anger — and colorful vocabulary — firsthand.

“I have seen in the last year Barack Obama really angry twice. Both were off-the-record times. One, profanity-laced where he thought the press was making too much of scandals that he did not think were scandals. Another where he took us to task for not understanding the limits he has with foreign policy and the way he’s dealing with the Middle East and Iraq,...

Another article was posted about boy president's profanity to the enemedia but it's worth a reminder.

Prince Joffrey is getting angry.

You can take the organizer out of the community, but you can`t take the community out of the organizer.

This week, on “Libs Dissing Libs”, we have...

>>Prince Joffrey is getting angry.

Errgh. I mean King Joffrey is getting angry.

“This particular administration has been more opaque than any I have covered about what the president does in the Oval Office every day. He is far less accessible on photo-ops with meetings,” Ms. (Ann) Compton said.

Who'd have thunk it.

Ann, we already know he's an uncouth, narcissistic sociopathic grifter. You're not telling us anything new.

[jazusamo]

Absolutely!

She seems mostly understanding of it, even impressed. Absolutely mind boggling.

scandals are eating him alive , Oh my Acid Reflux

[forgotten man]

I would substitute the word “jungle” for “community”, but I catch your drift. 0bama is a thug.

[moose07]

I’ll bet the Profanities weren’t strung together.
He only just manages to string five clean words together at any one time.

[Inyo-Mono]

Ann Compton? Who used to breathlessly speak of O as though he were some kind of god during every news report? That Ann Compton?

[what's up]

I didn't find her impressed.

Compton is a fairly balanced reporter. I find her comment about opaqueness not complimentary. Her comment about Obama's secrecy in the Oval Office is also quite interesting.

[tcrlaf]

JUST IMAGINE the coverage if this had been George Bush, instead of Obama?

It would have been immediate 24/7 breaking news, “off-the-record” be damned.

That it took so long to even get out with Obama says much....

I find him willing to stand up to the press

You've got it backwards Ms. Compton. The Press is supposed to stand up to him.

[jazusamo]

Good point...She seems to imply the enemedia didn’t understand him on a couple of a occasions and didn’t support his tyranny.

[SpaceBar]

Ms. Compton's journalistic integrity or lack thereof not withstanding, history showed that old A.H. got where he did largely because he was highly belligerent to those who disagreed with him, and a hair-trigger temper that no one wanted to challenge. A perfect fascist spokesperson.

[PghBaldy]

Note he doesn’t truly get angry about anything but his own appearance, mistreatment or respect. He does not care about the USA, its people, laws or traditions. He just cares about his own selfish desires. He is a mental case.

[Soul of the South]

Now we have two female reporters, Ann Compton and Sharyl Atkinson, willing to expose the behavior of the POTUS. The men in the press corps are still covering. Why?
