WaPo Points Out Obama’s Two Faces on Senate Holds | NewsReal Blog: "President Obama has given us plenty of reasons not to like him — his penchant for redistributive policies, his love of increasing the power and scope of government, and his stances on terror and security that could at best be called ambivalent. But perhaps the thing that rankles most is his attitude. This is the President. Of the United States. The “leader of the free world” and the “most powerful man in the world.” His party had a supermajority (and still maintains a hefty majority despite the recent Massachusetts election) in the Senate and a wide majority in the House.
And yet he still insists on taking a whining, hurt tone when someone disagrees with him. Obama’s act is reminiscent of a rich, star high school quarterback who’s still bitter because someone, somewhere doesn’t like him and won’t invite him to their birthday party.
Sometimes, it seem the President really believes his own hype, that just by existing he’s changed the rules of politics and policy forever. How else to explain this latest complaint about holds being placed on his nominees for federal jobs?"
