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,...

It’s so cute to see a poof go all hissy, and to hear a Harvard grad go full salty sailor.
Maybe next time he can go pirate with a parrot and eyepatch, arrrrrhh.

Reminds me of a joke.
B0 walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. Bartender says “Cool, where did you get that?”
Parrot says “Kenya. They’re all over the place.”

Clown Prince nobama demands ridicule... DEMANDS it.

Petty tyrants all share the same traits.

Compton covered up then, as she never reported what she saw. Probably didn’t think she would be believed

Compton covered up because she was a careerist who valued her job in Washington. She is retired now so can speak without fear of reprisal.

Well played!

Maybe he’ll blow a gasket and have an aneurysm. One can only hope.

[depressed in 06]

One can only hope.

That would be premeditation.

And the media will continue to lick Obama’s boots clean every time he steps in crap.

As the saying goes, “Profanity is the attempt of a weak mind to express itself”.

[caww]

I won't even give him that...he's playing the victim roll just as he learned and others like him....and it's ALWAYS somebody elses fault.

[liberalh8ter]

Sounds like he needs his black pampers changed.

How is even possible? This guy has had the most fawning press coverage EVER. The Propaganda Ministry reprints pretty much anything coming from the White House without questioning any of it; they join together to form a protective wall about any scandal; they are lockstep-Democrats of the MSNBC variety. I have never seen a more favorable Presidential treatment in my life -- indeed, in all of the history of this country.

Yet, on the one or two times they are not obsequious ENOUGH, he flips out.

[jazusamo]

Exactly right...The narcissist is a juvenile who thinks he’s always right and demands praise from everyone, especially the enemedia.

[Mr. K]

I am really more interested in if it is a real event or not

[Slyfox]

I really don’t know. It has been on the Internet for some time now. I think it is probably a put together gif that illustrates a reality.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

He really should watch his [censored] language.

PING!
