One of the most appalling things Obama said was in Vegas, where he mentioned the Americans murdered in Libya and compared his campaign workers to them for their “ dedication.” In Obama’s mind, it’s all about him; frankly, I think the guy is crazy. That’s the only thing that could account for such a bizarre view of the universe.
Dealing with a crazy person can be very frightening, and I think the press, which started off as merely sycophantic, is now scared. I’m not sure what threat he’s using ( it’s got to be more than just making them look uncool) but I get the feeling that they’re really afraid to make him mad.
