Maybe the president could use some grief counseling — something to take away that bitter taste of defeat that is likely to dog him through the remainder of his presidency.
As Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit reports, Obama teed off at a presser today on White House press corps member Major Garrett. Maybe it is a coincidence that Garrett, who is currently with CBS, rose to prominence at Fox News.
In the video that follows, Obama stutters and stammers his way through his response to a question Garrett has presumably asked him when he suddenly loses all composure and issues a response so sarcastic and mean-spirited that it is rare even for him.

It’s understandable that the president feels wounded. He wouldn’t be human if he didn’t, following what had to be the most humiliating night of his life. That doesn’t excuse him from comporting himself in a manner befitting a U.S. president … for a change.
