ABCNews: Obama's Rhetiroic Shifts From Hope to Snark
When the mainstream, liberal media makes an article like this...... well, wow. Just wow. The article mentions that the out of touch pundits scored this debate a win for Obama but just the simple fact that this article was written at all speaks volumes about how fast they're jumping off the O-bandwagon.
If you’re President Obama, you know you pushed the sarcasm envelope at Monday night’s debate when even Rachel Maddow describes the way you spoke to Mitt Romney as being in “very, very overtly patronizing terms.”
Maddow probably meant it as a compliment, but there have been plenty of other observers who were critical of the president’s use of Seinfeldian set-ups and snarky punch lines to score points about military spending and the state of U.S.-Russia relations.
Time’s Mark Halperin described the president’s style as “belittling.” Mike Allen at Politico called it “snide derision.”

Yawn...
It's interesting that in 2000 and 2004, cons jabbed at the left for not being tough enough - whether it be the WoT or elections. Then one gives them the business, and suddenly he's "condescending."
Snide, snarky and patronizing is just what your lying camp of division needs. I find it refreshing. It's the only style your team actually hears, so I hope it continues. He tried reaching across the aisle, even when he didn't have to. Hopefully in his second term, he tells the contingent that's ruining the country - that being the RIGHT - to go **** themselves, which he should have done Day 1.
I swear, it's like dealing with "mean girls" when engaging you people. You don't care about the issues. All you care about is put downs, "derision" and respectful body language. That is, unless one of your own is in charge, then it's all OK.
We're all well aware that you'd demand he was an obedient, submissive puppet. Which really speaks volumes on where your true objections lay.

Awesome....4 more years of hatred and divisiveness at the cost of doing anything to actually improve the way things have been going for the last 30 some odd years....(and yes I realize who he has to work with plays a role in this too), but I expect more from the leader of the free world. I'm not asking for a world mover....I'm asking for Bill Clinton's ability to work and get things done.
Both the Dems and Reps can kiss my you know what...they don't care about anything more than who is paying for their next vote.

Do you really believe that politics are the same as they were during Clinton's time?? When Obama was elected all of them publicly said that they would work against him in any venue. They have pretty much done this, from Issa's hearings designed to do nothing except embarass Obama, to Rush Limbaugh who said "I hope he fails".. to the continued blogging of the right, that looks for any possibility of a scandal..
Congress is polliing about 11% favorability rating, that is significant..
Politics have gotten exponentially more contentious in the past 15 years, to the point where civility is the exception and not the rule.

Well the history of this forum shows us that belittling, snide derision and overt patronization is right up someones alley
When did MSNBC's Maddow, Politico's Allen and Time's Halperin join Wolfpack's team? I'm not sure they find it as refreshing as you do.

Cool story. But I'd say, since the Golden 90s, the hatred and divisiveness started with your camp. From Ken Starr to "with us or with the terrists!" to Mitch McConnell's dumb proclamation.
You may "expect more," but you'd do well to take a much harder look at the right wing, which is purposefully trying to stall the recovery by creating gridlock. You had your chance, and with a 3-side majority, Obama played far nicer than he ever should. And the arrogant, misguided GOP fought him on every inch, and continues to.
Ya can't sucker punch someone from behind and then ask "why you mad, bro?" afterward when everyone's looking. Not without coming off looking like a complete coward.

I was using Clinton as an example where one party worked with the other to accomplish things.
I have no love for either side....and I said as much. None of them are working to do anything....but ensure the money for their next Mortgage Payment makes it to their bank account.
