A petty man

Bookworm has an interesting perspective on the various events in which The One has revealed his Obaminable personality.

That’s not presidential.  That’s not no-drama.  That’s not post-partisan.  That’s ghetto thug.

And, just to keep his street creds intact, Obama again engaged in ungracious bating, this time at a book store:

After his speech in Iowa City today, President Obama made a short visit to Prairie Lights bookstore — a small local business in the community.

While perusing the bookshelves Mr. Obama had a little fun with the books of two Republican foes, both whose faces graced the covers.

Laughing, the president held up “No Apology,” by Mitt Romney, and “Courage and Consequence,” by Karl Rove,” in each hand.

“What do you think guys?” he asked the group of reporters with him of the hardback copies in each hand.

Ultimately the president did not purchase either book, choosing instead to buy a book for each of his daughters: “Journey to the River Sea,” by Eva Ibbotson, and “The Secret of Zoom,” by Lynne Jonell.

What a petty little man.  How ungracious.  Even the frequently over-the-top Johnson; the crooked Nixon; the dour Carter; the inarticulate Bush, Sr.; the sex mad, narcissistic Clinton; and the much ridiculed and attacked Bush Jr. would never have forgotten their role and sunk so low.  Apparently you can take the man out of the angry and ugly socialist streets, but you can take the angry and ugly socialist out of the man.
