Obama Shows Testy Side at Health Care Summit

Of all the hats President Obama tried on at Thursday's seven-and-a-half-hour health care summit, it appeared the one he was most comfortable wearing was that of the prickly professor.

Of all the hats President Obama tried on at Thursday's seven-and-a-half-hour health care summit, it appeared the one he was most comfortable wearing was that of the prickly professor.

In between playing the roles of moderator and deal-maker, the president took several opportunities to dress down his classroom of Republican critics. Through a series of awkward clashes between him and the Republicans, the summit may have served more to portray Republicans as intransigents intent on stonewalling a bill no matter what, than it served to pave the way for a compromise.

Obamao is used to doing his community meetings with agitators who agree with him. Put him in a room with intelligent people who think differently than him, and Badcrack’s ignorance explodes. He is an incompetent boob.

From what has been said about yesterdays show and tell is that he was the one who knew the least about this deathcare bill.

He wants it, everyting else is of no concern.

Remember, It’s all about him, him, him.

Just wondering how his arrogant condescending “testy” side will affect his personal approval ratings.

This reads like an AP article, but there is no byline at all. Whoever wrote it didn’t want credit.

Some individuals in positions of authority get 'testy' when questioned not only to avoid answering the question itself but to intimidate the questioner.

These individuals are typically identified by certain names that are forbidden on this forum.

Obviously ZERO is not used to being challenged on what he is saying or has said in the past. The looks he gave Republicans in addition to the lectures was so beneath what you would expect out of a President.

Is this how he acts when he is with foreign leaders? If it is, no wonder they want to leave him out of meetings.

ZERO was on display for everyone to see what a mean spirited, arrogant, condescending jerk he is. That doesn’t include his endless talking with saying so little except to allow everyone to know he hasn’t read or doesn’t understand what is in the Democrat Healthcare bills.

Who put these bills together because none of the Democrats had the grasp of the bills like the Republicans did? They seemed lost when trying to defend the bills and rambled on to be corrected by Republicans for what they just said about the bills.

Truly amazing to watch the lack of class and lies being repeated on the part of the ZERO and the Democrats.

Doubt if yesterday’s display is what the people who vote for ZERO voted for when they wanted hope and change — what they got was a spoiled brat who has to have his way or he will get mad and pout.

I’m getting mighty sick and tired of Obama dismissing the concerns of the majority of Americans! When McCain told Obama about Arizona citizens, who have shown up at townhall meetings, etc., who do not support this healthcare plan and are upset about the sweetheart deals, Obama accused him of campaigning and just spouting political talking points!

We contact our Senators and Reps because THEY ARE OUR VOICE! And then what happens? Our Senators and Reps go back to D.C. and tell Obama and Congress what they are hearing from “WE THE PEOPLE”, and our opinions are completely disrespected and discarded as nothing more than “politics”.

Obama has shown once again that he has NO RESPECT for our concerns and he REFUSES to listen! I’m so pissed I could spit nails!

Øbama had his mind made up long before 2/25/10. No faux summit was going to change his agenda one iota. Yesterday's dog & pony show was nothing but a placating circle jerk. The poll numbers will show it backfired.

His entire life he has just been handed stuff for being “clean, articulate, and black”. He has had NO experience being told no in a civil manner by anyone at all other than his wife.

It’s like Rush said about “Cargo cults” the other day —he expects novel, valuable stuff to more or less wash up on shore. When this doesn’t happen, it really puts him out.

It makes him mad.

Let’s face it, the Ego in Chief showed he has no class whatsoever.

Prickly professor? He looked more like a pouting first grader from my perspective.

Oh, he showed it was all about him yesterday... his body language when someone said something he didn’t agree with, avoiding some of the questions and points republicans made, rambling through papers and talking while republicans spoke, the fact that he didn’t count his speaking time yesterday because “he’s the president” (la-di-freakin’-da), and he was “certain he isn’t wrong”. Not to mention, as someone else had just posted, picking his nose on television. His arrogance and smugness is disgusting. Any true president would NOT act the way he did yesterday, whether you agreed or disagreed with anyone.
