Hecklers not TOTUS scripted

What's a politician to do when a response to hecklers isn't transcribed on his teleprompter?

This.


Anyone else noticed the Obama fire sending tingles up Matthew's leg wasn't present? Obama not only didn't keep the crowd and situation under control, he simply stopped. At one point, he walks away from the podium. Was that a hissy fit?
I can't be sure. I'm not familiar with what a grown man giving a hissy fit looks like, unless it's Michael Moore. But that poor guy just needs more veggies in his diet.

In the end, Obama goes with the chant, "We're alright. We're okay. We're alright." I'm not sure if he's referring to himself and the crowd or his many personalities. Either way, it reminded me of an elementary school teacher trying to settle down her classroom after recess, not a President capable of handling negative reaction. None of it is surprising, only disappointing.

Yet what I found most disturbing, even beyond the heckling, came near the end. Obama admits he doesn't know the Republican challenger, Scott Brown's record. He has no idea about the man, has he done a good job? Has he adequately represented his constituents in the state congress? Has he been upright and transparent? Has he been honest with his donations and tax dealings? Has he shown any talent for working with Democrats and Republicans alike? Does the man have a history of serving his state, and thus nation, well?
Obama has no idea. He's simply campaigning against him for one sole reason: Brown's a Republican who doesn't support ObamaCare. He won't vote to pass it and he won't lay down and stamp "approval" on Obama's ideas.

This, my friends, is the Washington politics as usual that Candidate Obama promised would not occur. This is the antithesis of the change that ignited his voters. This is a man who presents absolutely, without difference, exactly to a carbon copy, the doppleganger of all liberals that have come before, the politician of nothing new.

This is the Obama from his Senate days that voted "present". This is the little man behind the curtain who had been mistaken for the Great and Powerful Oz.
