Victor Davis Hanson "Obama in just twenty months has developed a reputation for being petulant, unusually sensitive to the normal run-of-the-mill criticism. His latest pushback was his strangest so far: “And they’re not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That’s not in my prepared remarks, it’s just — but it’s true.”"....
"We sense only that those authoritarian sorts seem so far to like the idea that Obama speaks ambiguously about his country’s past and future, and appears more comfortable in pondering alternatives than making decisions.
"Given all that, it is understandable both why America is very worried about what it has wrought — and why Barack Obama is miffed and lashes out.
"You would too if both accountability and criticism were novel experiences at 49."
"Petulant"; a word that shows up more and more in columns about President Obama. Learn about it here:
"...moved to or showing sudden, impatient irritation, esp. over some trifling annoyance: a petulant toss of the head.
—Synonyms
irritable, peevish, fretful, pettish, touchy. (Emphasis added)

Too Cool For School " “Maybe we fell in love too fast,” my friend said. “You know, we might have zipped right past the road signs.”
"Several of us were sitting around over the holiday weekend, enjoying a lovely bottle of wine at sunset ... and discussing the condition of our country. Which led us to the president. Which led us to our mutually shared disappointment in him." Patti Davis
