1. I was impressed with the way that President Obama handled this audience member

President Obama did a good job of answering this man's question

[raging moderate]

5. Mittens also bullied a teacher. At least once.

It was supposed to be an informal conversation with a small group. It went something like this: She said politely that she did have a question for him. He answered rudely that he wasn't there to answer her questions. Boy, did we ever dodge a bullet that time!

2. While flipping channels, I saw Glenn Beck desperately trying to trash PBO.

Glenn Beck on his show: "Have you ever seen a presidential speech spin so wildly out of control?"

I was lucky enough to catch President Obama's speech yesterday, with this moment. Obama was fantastic here! Imagine how differently such a moment might have turned out if that 2012 election had gone the other way? Or even that 2008 election? This guy knows how to manage, and he never loses his cool. Or his control. Or his courtesy.

Maybe even THESE GOONS can see how brilliantly President Obama handled that heckler, turning his outburst into one of the most positive moments of that speech. Maybe it is beginning to dawn on them that their fantasies about this President may have a fatal flaw?

8. "Have you ever seen a presidential speech spin so wildly out of control?"

I remember someone throwing a shoe at Dubya. That was pretty wildly out of control.

9. The one and only thing Dubya was ever good at was ducking those shoes.

10. The one and only thing Dubya was ever good at was ducking those shoes.

He'd had practice ducking things being thrown at him. I means.... he grew up with Babs....

3. Shortly after that took place

my daughter and I ran out for a bite to eat. The radio was on a talk station and guess what they played? The audio of the heckler - right up to the point where he was screaming the loudest over the president. They went on to criticize the president for everything from healthcare to Iran.

But, no, they never got around to playing the wonderful part where the president calmly and kindly spoke to the young man. Of course not.

[Faux pas]

4. Let's compare that with

christie's bullying the teacher, oops, no comparison.

6. Mittens also bullied a teacher. At least once.

It was supposed to be an informal small-group conversation. It went something like this: She said politely that she did have a questlon for him. Mitt answered rudely that he wasn't there to answer her questions. Boy, did we ever dodge a bullet that time!

[Sheepshank]

7. Mittens did more than that....

during the Olympics he went on a full ride swearing tirade against a volunteer because his important self wasn't able to get up a canyon due to avalanche control. It made pretty big news at the time.
