Last week the President caused quite a stir with his Mideast speech.
The specific topic aside, I was struck by his lack of basic courtesy to the Israeli Prime Minister..
Obama often scolds Congress and right-leaning activists to start acting more like adults … more civil.
That’s the same Obama who …
- In an unprecedented act, called out the Supreme Court justices during a State of the Union address,
- During the televised “Healthcare Summit”, called the Senators and Congressmen by their first names, They honorably called him “Mr. President” in return (not Barack or Barry).
- Invited Rep. Paul Ryan to sit in the front row for his deficit speech, and then rhetorically attacked him.
So, it is shouldn’t be surprising that the President would disrespect a foreign leader by blindsiding him with an inflammatory speech – the day before a state visit.
Sure-shot prediction: We’ll all be getting a scolding from the President this week re: acting more like grown-ups and adopting a more civil tone.
When he does, go ahead and scream.
