Folks would get the vapors if Obama acted like Christie. They'd probably call 911.
It's only cool to be a jerk / hot-head / bully when you're a Republican

In addition, it would go against his own nature.

(30,439 posts)When McCain or Christie scream at people like that, they are showing passion and are being straight talkers according to the media.
The media would never allow Obama to get angry like that because he's black. It would be unacceptable to them.
Yes, racism is still very real in America and this applies to the President.
What's amazing is how many people don't see it.
Thankfully most people here do.
