There’s a fly in my soup; Obama’s shameful ad hominem presidency.

Ad hominem;

1: appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect

2: marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made. 

Charles Krauthammer  "In such grim proceedings one should be grateful for unintended humor. Horrible customer service is when every patron in a restaurant finds a fly in his soup. But when the maitre d’ screens patrons for their politics and only conservatives find flies paddlewheeling through their consomme, the problem is not poor service. It is harassment and invidious discrimination."
....
"It’s not unlawful to run an ad hominem presidency. It’s merely shameful. The great rhetorical specialty of this president has been his unrelenting attribution of bad faith to those who disagree with him. He acts on principle; they from the basest of instincts.
"Well then, why not harass them? Why not ask the content of their prayers? "Why not read their e-mail? Why not give them especially horrible customer service?
"Waiter! There’s a fly . . . "

 "If the country wants to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal, it must first remember the context for this abuse. That context leads to this White House."
