I strongly support the Affordable Care Act. Right-wingers be damned. You lost.

You have got to be kidding. Republicans are the ones who want to shut down the government over Obamacare, but you're accusing Obama of having a tantrum when things go don't go his way?!

Unreal.

One would assume the POTUS would act like an adult and not get mad at one media outlet. I didn't see bush *****ing and moaning about msnbc.

This so-called "president" is not living in reality. Then again, these crazy things that are happening are what he wants to do to us. He won't take any responsibility for his law. This speaks for the kind of creep that Barry truly is. He absolutely sickens me.

It's like talking to a wall! UGH!! Those people are US - nearly everybody who isn't on welfare, but isn't rich enough to not worry about the additional premiums.

It just isn't dignified. It's not a Democrat or a Republican thing, it's an Obama thing. I've lived through Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, and Bush Jr. None of them, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, older or younger, Northern or Southern, former businessman, former lawyer, former farmer, or former actor, did anything like what Obama has done with publicly blaming Bush and the Tea Party and congress and Republicans.

Although I disagree with most everything Carter ever did, I credit him with acting dignified during the 70s gas shortages, inflation, and hostage crisis. He didn't go on TV and whine. He didn't blame his Republican predecessor time and time and time again. When Bush Sr had to go back on his "read my lips, no new taxes" pledge after congress refused to pass his budget that didn't contain taxes, he didn't make national speeches about how obstructionist the Democrats in congress were. When Reagan and the Democrat speaker of the house O'Neill reached an immigration compromise and then the Democrats didn't fulfill their end of the compromise, Reagan didn't go on a road tour to blame Democrats as do-nothings. When Clinton lost control of congress during the midterm elections, just like Obama did, he compromised with them on reforming welfare and ended up with a strong budget that was a credit to them both. And when Democrats, who had voted for Iraq, reversed and started attacking Bush Jr over Iraq and the lack of WMD he didn't go on TV and complain about how attacked he was.

Obama disgraces the office with his whining.
I couldn't rep you twice, so I just wanted to post it again because it's exactly right. Obama's the sniveling mid-level manager who always complains to upper management that his workers are to blame for everything wrong in his department. He just absolutely makes me sick, almost as sick as all his supporters on City-Data who think the guy is the greatest president in the history of this country, despite the poor recovery, lack of jobs, turning this country into a part-time minimum wage workforce, disasterous foreign policy, etc. I remember several on here praising his handling of Syria! Are they insane, or just work for Organizing for Action?
