Obama the Mocker: Taunter-in-Chief Only to Domestic Opponents
Obama's habit of mocking opponents may come back to bite him
Barack Obama used the occasion of signing 2000 pages of job-and business-killing regulations known as the Financial Reform bill to mock those he disagrees with by signing the act at the Reagan Office Building. The president has a nasty habit of mocking his opponents.
[Originally published at DBKP FLASH Headline News: Obama Has Nasty Habit of Mocking Those Out of Power]
MOCKER-IN-CHIEF DISPLAYS DISDAIN FOR OTHER AMERICANS
Drudge Report ran the headline: “OBAMA SIGNS MASSIVE NEW GOV’T REGULATIONS — AT REAGAN BUILDING!”
The Drudge link lead to the following story: Obama signs sweeping financial overhaul into law.
It’s another day in Obama’s America and the president signed one more bill filled with hundreds of new regulations and thousands of unintended consequences: The Financial “Reform” Act.
The AP called the “law the most sweeping overhaul of financial regulations since the Great Depression…”
And so it is. But the main takeaway I got from the story was contained in Drudge’s original headline: adding over 2000 pages of job- and business-killing regulations at the Reagan Building, which was named for the president who did the most to free America from the shackles of Big Government in the last 80 years.
Obama has a nasty habit of lording it over his opponents. The “I won” remark and taunting the Tea Party after he finished ramming ObamaCare down Americans’ throats–over their protests–are just two more that readily come to mind.
Others have noticed his junior high habit of slipping opponents the bird while talking on national television. It started with Hillary Clinton, continued to John McCain and continues today.
Toward America’s foes abroad, Obama is a bowing-scraping Machine. To domestic opponents, his actions are those of an arrogant, juvenile prick.
But Americans are a forgiving lot. The current president better hope that they continue along those lines.
Otherwise, he’ll be eating many of his arrogant, mocking, taunting remarks come January 2011.
