"That Woman Is Worth Paying Attention To"

Yesterday the president said "That Woman Is Worth Paying Attention To" but most of the discussion around here seemed pretty dismissive of her to say the lest,anyway her she is to explain herself.

1. The President is very good at handling people who oppose him

Tolerant and patient. To a degree that amazes me. Often seems to frustrate Democrats, too. They'd rather he lit into her.

2. The President sometimes says things that reveal introspective wisdom

and demonstrate good leadership abilities, but alas, words come more easily to him than action.
He won't heed his own advice.

3. Dismissive? She was acting like a two-year-old but got a helluva lot of undeserved attention.

4. He has always been good at handling hecklers during his speeches

Not shutting them down and not having them removed form the audience as a past administration had done.

I saw him ask one heckler to lead the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance at a campaign rally I attended.

I wish he was as good at handling the media and the republicans as he is at hecklers.

5. Here is the the shorter version:

Obama: Close Gitmo.
Code Pink: BUT close Gitmo.
Obama: Yeah, I said close Gitmo.
Code Pink: BUT TEH GITMO.
Obama: Seriously?

6. That's about it.
