A new book describes President Barack Obama grabbing an aide’s shirt and unleashing obscenities after learning Martha Coakley famously dissed hand-shaking outside Fenway Park [map] during her U.S. Senate special election campaign.

Jonathan Alter writes in "The Promise: President Obama, Year One," that presidential aide David Axelrod related how Coakley dismissed critics of her campaigning by saying, "As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold? Shaking hands?"

Alter says Obama grabbed Axelrod, let go a blue streak and said, "No! No! You’re making that up! That can’t be right! Tell me she didn’t say that!"

I recoil at most of his comments.

Alter says Obama grabbed Axelrod, let go a blue streak and said, "No! No! You’re making that up! That can’t be right! Tell me she didn’t say that!"

"I mean, we all think it, but she couldn't be stupid enough to say it!"

Note to Mr Hussein...Marsha Coakley could have been fornicating with random voters in front of Fenway Park and she *still* would have lost because she was in favor of HusseinCare and Scott Brown was opposed.

I *know*,Mr Hussein.I was *there*!

Calling Kurt Schilling a “Yankees fan” was worse.

Then again, Zero can’t name any White Sox players...

[bigbob]

geez, it’s not like she would be standing outside a Wal*Mart or anything...

Probably a lot of obscenities unleashed in the White House whenever The One doesn’t get his way.

" Alter says Obama...let go a blue streak and said, "No! No! You’re making that up!"

Were it President Bush, we would have had the quote, word-for-word, with a couple of *#! thrown in to avoid censorship.

and daily contact with Joe Biden, MICHELLE OBAMA, Rahm Emanuel has not set him into a massive coronary yet??

The anger explosion at something like this is simply another display of the symptoms of his malignant narcissism.
