You're full of penetrating insight, aren't you?

You're totally right. Anyone who says anything negative about Obama is only doing it to lay the groundwork for Rand Paul. It's perfectly obvious.

You let all those Michele Bachmanns know that you're onto them. Only a fool could possibly think there was any difference between criticism from the left and rash, empty-headed incitement to belligerence from the extreme right. A fool with ODS, at that.

Too much of it is indistinguishable from Infowars.

Not that there's any difference, as you so appropriately pointed out.

There's no other conclusion any reasonable person could possibly draw.

would be appreciated by Michele Bachmann. Not 100% of it.

Any "criticism" of Obama can't possibly come from anywhere other than a love of Rand Paul.

Actual words have no meaning to the likes of her, or to her kindred spirits under other standards. Only malicious intent matters.

Yes, Michele Bachmanns are everywhere. Nothing but malicious intent, devoid of content or legitimacy. After all, there is no legitimate criticism of Obama!

You going to claim with a straight face the anti-Obama smegma that gets plastered on this place generally contains any of that?

"Obama Speaks with Guy Who Said A Torture Defender's Gardener Is Human!!1!"

...and that's the BOG.

You'd have to be Michele Bachmann to believe otherwise. Those long, smegma-like discussions about TPP are incompetent subterfuge.

Congratulations for maintaining equanimity and focus in the face of long odds and preposterous, fatuous arguments. I wish I had your patience and I salute you! Glad you are on DU.

i don't live my life wondering if I pass muster with that idiot.

and a bunch of folks didn't chime in to express agreement?

Obama has never done anything to deserve even the faintest criticism from anyone who claims to be a liberal.

the man is bashed CONSTANTLY here....there are people here that NEVER have a good thing to say about him EVER! Cannot find a SINGLE thing to approve of ....and its ridiculous...THAT is what is being addressed here. There are those of us here that DO connect dots.

He's never done anything to give in to the right in any way. Anyone who says otherwise clearly has ODS. Just like you say!

If he signs that appropriation bill he will be caving to the right...Cutting pensions to millions, cutting provisions to Dodd-Frank allowing Wallstreet to gamble with taxpayer money, McConnells little gift to elevate election donations.Cutting 300 million in housing assistance for homeless, cutting 300 million in low income student grants....sorry but I DISAGREE WITH THESE CUTS

I've finally realized that Bashing and Criticizing are precisely the same thing-- the only difference is how much deference is given to the target.... and how that deference is rationalized.

If you NEVER have a good thing to say about that man...THAT IS bashing not criticism...

If you think no one comes here JUST to bash the POTUS....you have another think coming!

....seems to me that criticizing = bashing = RAND PAUL!!!1!!

I would love to be directed towards one of these Two-Minute Hate posts I keep hearing alleged.

I bet nearly everyone comes across to Michele as condescending. It's hard to get the tone just right when you're humoring an idiot.

And not because she is an utter moron.

... that she'd better get used to "condescending" now that she's out of office, but I think you've covered that point fairly well.

condescension towards her is a "fair" reaction. Does this mean that she actually realizes she's a fucking idiot?

every time President Obama says or does ANYTHING at all, she should be grateful he was gracious enough to speak with her. If a little condescension crept in when she braced him with a totally, inappropriate (for the occasion) question, she should consider herself let off easy.

Well? You are an idiot, and don't know what you're talking about. It's not because you are a woman. Dolt.

Don't you think that it's a little condescending to show off your vocabulary to a hard-working, average, American lady like poor Michelle Bachman by using words like "dolt?" Why do you hate women so much?

She's small of stature (I know because I've seen her fairly close-up in person a couple of times), she's a woman, and she certainly doesn't know what she's talking about. So, if the shoe fits...

restraint. After years of disrespecting Obama. After 100s of floor speeches from Bachman lying about the president and his policies. I think all she deserved was a..... F off...... go crawl back into the hate filled hole you emerged from you IDIOT !!!!!!

First one that comes to my mind is "Spring Time For Hitler".

And if the prez was condescending it wasn't because she's a woman, it's because she really doesn't know what she's talking about.

Don't let the political door hit you in the butt as you exit the stage.

of course, she probably will not retire to the obscurity she so thoroughly merits, she will probably end up as a fixed noise commentator.

oh, by the way michele, you DON'T know what you are talking about, EVER.

and yes, you are some little woman who doesn't know what you're talking about

It ain't the "little woman" part, Michelle, it's because you, in fact, don't know what you're talking about. Or, more to the point, there's a bit of separation between the things that you "know what you're are talking about" and, well, reality.

What do you think about Pakistan's nukes, Michelle?

"Pakistan has nukes"?????

Proving that talking to imbeciles is very challenging indeed.

by his adversaries. Personally, I'd almost wear it as a badge of honor to be labeled as "fairly (or unfairly) condescending" by the likes of MB.

n/t

things like the way he talks .

...and she sure as hell never knows what she's talking about (not that it stops her).

did she ever get around to thinking about the Baby Jesus at that Christmas party, or was she too busy warmongering?

Down the drain

+ =

Pushing agendas at a Christmas party?

And why was she even invited to the White House Christmas party at all?

The Dumb and Dumber in American politics. Both are quitters too. They are perfect republican candidates for president.

It could happen.
Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon would love it.

"It's a no brainer!"

... that how he has treated liberals for years.

all sane people she encounters from here on out will be "fairly condescending" to her. That's how nice people deal with lunatics.

and you still wouldn't know what the Hell you were talking about. But nice effort trying to play the feminist card.

If she had talked to me that way the dinner would have ended with her being chased by psychiatrists.

that's what happens when you bring a hand full of marbles to a chess game.

she'd allow that. I suppose it could be an event where the guys were smoking cigars and she indulged never intending someone to bust her with their phone. Still, with her politics, I'm surprised she allowed anyone to see her smoking.

She looks like she knows what she's doing too. Not like some girl gagging on her first cigar. That makes me think she might be a regular cigarette smoker, she kind of has that look. Now that's something she would have hidden, especially with her religous fans and all. It's not unusual for closet cigarette smokers to feel comfortable having a cigar in public and claim it's just the occasional one for fun.

I also wouldn't be surprised if almost everything about her politically was just a big show. She might not really care about any of the teabagger social issues. Considering her husband, I've suspected that all along.

she's fairly blind and disinterested in any thing that doesn't have to do with converting gays and bombing Iran. Stupid is as stupid does.

He was just trying to express himself in little enough words so you would comprehend.

Why rub her face in her disability?

".....OK,’ like I’m some little woman who doesn’t know what I’m talking about.”

ATTN M. Bachmann Iran is now burning up its high grade material in its reactors thanx to an agreement that was worked out in part by Sec. Kerry.

M. Bachmann, "Now Mr. President I this is the last time I talk to you but can you please start an unneeded war?"

what it must be like to live in her Congressional district.

They fabricate and bitch about liberals' "war on Christmas," but what do they do at a Christmas reception with the POTUS? Encourage the President to bomb and kill other nations and their people.

And they don't even have a sense of the irony of her words and actions.

is going to rub up against that and make you feel put down.

Good fing riddance you crazy lady.

Oh and why are you stepping down. BECAUSE YOU ARE CORRUPT.

A fair amount of condescension is deserved with her. And according to her, that's what she got, a fair amount.

Were I President, I would have had the Secret Service cuff her and throw her over the fence.

Listen Bat-Shit...You don't know what you're talking about...EVER!!! He was being polite. You belong in the looney bin, never
to be heard from again.

It's difficult to communicate with a moron with a chip on their shoulder without them taking offence at it.

I think she's got it.

I'm willing to bet she'll be on a few Sunday talk shows, and DEFINITELY a regular of fox-nonsense...not that many if any of us what that disgusting rag of a network.

In fact, I'd wager that she will get more outlandish in order to keep the spotlight now that she is not in congress.

I would've just whacked the shit out of her for being so stoopid, and had an aide clean up the mess. End of Michele.

People of her personality type probably should be condescended to, regularly.

A little woman who doesn’t know what she's talking about

does seem to me like a fair summary of Michelle Bachmann

Am I alone in thinking that the average Congressional IQ is going to rise after her long-awaited departure?

If I were Obama, I'd have responded with something along the lines of, "Actually, Ms. Bachmann, there is a plan in the works to detonate a backpack nuke in downtown Teheran. Would you be interested in parachuting in and delivering it?"

It's that you're an idiot.

that? A horrifying thought; worse even than Palin for V.P.

If the president did that to Sen. Warren, half of the board would be up in arms in a giant shit fit over his arrogance and the male-dominated system, with the other half not caring or encouraging him.

If the president did that to Secretary Clinton, half of the board would be up in arms in a giant shit fit over his arrogance and the male-dominated system, with the other half not caring or encouraging him.

But since it's Michele Bachmann, she gets posts calling her a dozen different names. Because you can apparently have an IQ of 50 and graduate from William and Mary Law School, the oldest such school, and one of the most selective, in the country.

Yes, you made me defend her. I'm going to go shower now

Bipedal. Opposable thumb. Not much upstairs though. Australopithicus?

For, if you don't mind this Canadian saying, I should think ANYONE with an IQ higher than that of guppy would condescend to Mrs Bachmann! (Chuckling here.)

...telling her to go back to the kids' table.

And.....who taught her a big word like that? It's sort of impressive, actually - in much the same way as Koko learning ASL.

or downright insulting.

There. Did I manage to be non-condescending enough?

Do you remember when that idiot actually ran for POTUS?


President Obama shows remarkable restraint.
