When President Obama was at the G-20 meeting in Europe recently, he apologized for America (again) and said we have sometimes been arrogant, dismissive and even derisive of Europe's leadership in the world.
Then, at a recent town hall meeting in Missouri (prior to his celebratory 100th day so-called press conference that same night), he said that all he was aware of about the April 15th TEA Party protests was that it involved some people waving tea bags around and coverage of it appeared on a TV network that doesn't like him very much.
Well, I think it deliciously ironic that an American president who apologizes, especially while overseas, for America having been arrogant, dismissive and derisive of Europe's so-called leadership in the recent past is himself arrogant and narcissistic, dismissive of hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans who participated in the TEA Party protests, and derisive of Fox News, conservative commentators and columnists in general, and anyone else who disagrees with him and his policies, particularly while being so petty and thin-skinned about it all. It's simply unpresidential.
But, Mr. Obama, if America has been arrogant, dismissive and derisive of Europe, what were you being about hundreds of thousands of Americans and the TV news coverage their protests got?
Obama is increasingly showing that he still has style but less and less class. Doesn't he know he was elected to be the president of ALL the American people? Doesn't he know that if he feels he is not my president simply because I disagree with his policies, he runs the risk that I, and many others, will start to think of him as not our president, too?
The outright hubris of Obama, Emanuel, Axelrod, Gibbs, Napolitano, Holder, Pelosi, Reid and many other Democrats and liberals is almost mind-boggling -- as well as infuriating. It's as if they consider themselves above any accountability. Well, an accounting is coming, and 2010 cannot arrive too soon to suit me.
So, et tu, Obamicus? Yes, et tu.
