If it is true that the best defense is a good offense, President Obama should be celebrating in the end zone now. Obviously furious over criticism that his anti-terror policies are weak and that the Orlando slaughter proves it, he went on a televised tirade to let America know hes mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.
He laid waste to a field of straw men, cable-TV pundits and the always-evil partisan rhetoric, by which he means anyone who disagrees with him. It was a striking display of personal anger and pent-up grievances and a total failure of leadership during a national crisis.
It also, inadvertently, captured why Donald Trump was able to brawl his way to the GOP nomination. All his nice Republican rivals couldnt stir voters because they never knew how to rattle Obama the way Trump is doing. The president didnt mention Trump yesterday, but the whole speech was nothing but a desperate and incoherent reaction to Trumpism.
As such, it was a huge moment in the general-election campaign, even though it comes before the nominees are formally crowned. For one thing, it showed that Obamas plan to campaign against Trump as if he is running for his own third term wont be a cakewalk for the president or his legacy.
Obamas demeanor and tone were far from presidential tantrums rarely are. Nor was he effective in rallying the nation to his cause. No surprise there. His cause is himself, always and only, and his greatly diminished historic presidency looks especially insignificant next to the bloodshed in Orlando. The iconic redeemer who promised hope and change never seemed so small and hopeless.

President Stompy Foot.
MY FEELINGS EXACTLY.
Your comment is offensive.
Yup, Trump has gotten Lil Obie’s goat ...
Made a meme for that statement. Hope you like it.
“Foot stompin, whiney ass, petulant, thin skinned, snarling adolescent”
Boy, that definitely covers obama doesn’t it???? I wonder if the MSM is going to show the moving van at the White House on 20 January 2017??? I do hope that someone gets pictures, I can hardly wait. But I sure hope the White House Staff count the silverware.......just saying in view of what happened when the Clinton’s left the White House and hillary said that they weren’t just “broke” but “dead broke” when they left the White House.
Love it!
I could never understand why the WH staff let them get away with it. I can see letting them have the sheets and towels but the china and furniture? Really?
He’s furious because Trump is insulting his beloved Islamic cult.
But true.
In case you didn’t see Outnumbered yesterday (6/14), watch it here - John Bolton is spectacular (as always)... You can tune in at 35:00 if you choose when obozo finished his speech...
John Bolton: “Snark in a president is not an admirable trait.” Sure hope we get John Bolton in some cabinet position come January 2017!!!! Preferably as SOS!

Sheriff Clark on Hannity last night said that there is a reason the jackass is the symbol of the democrat party. Love straight talk!!! It’s been years since we’ve heard any!!
“”And that display was despite the fact IMHO that he drugged up. Just look at his eyes””
What I saw in those eyes was pure evil - I don’t know about the drugs. They really are cold and leaves a chill on the back of my neck!
You have no idea to what I am referring. And there is no point in me even making the effort.
Nor do I care.
