Trash Talk From President Obama



Edward-Isaac Dovere, Politico: Obama’s trash talk

In a freewheeling news conference, the president smacks down Putin, Congress and gun control opponents

It’s not just the fourth quarter. It’s trash talk time.

President Barack Obama’s never done a good job hiding his disdain for the people he doesn’t like—a long list that includes reporters, Republicans, pretty much every member of Congress, the foreign leaders he considers petty and childish (Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyanu most of all). Everyone would see things his way, he tends to project, if only they were a little smarter and thought it through as thoroughly as he has.

WNU Editor: Over the years the foreign press has done numerous stories on how President Obama reacts "dis-respectively" to his critics .... but it is rare to see a U.S. publication calling out President Obama for his insults directed toward those he disagrees with. I can now understand why some are calling Donald Trump the Republican Obama .... sometimes he behaves the same way.

WNU,
If only a significant minority of the domestic press start doing this, then he really is done as a political force.
