Even the
Washington Post is acknowledging:
President Obama’s raw exchange with the governor of Arizona on an airport tarmac this week did more than overshadow his carefully stage-managed road trip to trumpet his State of the Union goals.
The discussion revealed a testy side of the president’s personality that is at odds with his public image as “no-drama Obama,” reviving criticism that he is unwilling to be second-guessed — or to even entertain another point of view.
Well, he is The One after all. And already one of
America's greatest presidents, in his own mind. Why should he be second guessed?
