From Thursday night’s Fox News All-Stars.
On President Obama’s Thursday press conference:
He was droning on. He was speaking in a way that I found incredibly dull, almost disinterested, [giving] a feeling of a sinking, contracting presidency.
The one time when he got energetic is when he went into the attack mode. . . . It’s [his attack] rather odd. It’s as if he hasn’t been president for the three years he’s been president. He passed a stimulus, he passed Obamacare, he tried and did not succeed on cap-and–trade, he passed financial reform. But all he’s campaigning on — and all of this is campaigning, it’s not about a bill, he’s not going to get a bill — is one bill, a mini-stimulus that he pretends will jumpstart the economy.
It’s only a way to draw distinctions between him and the Republicans. But it’s as if he’s an insurgent, as if he’s the guy of 2007 you never heard of, who’s never done anything. . . .
He wants only to talk about one bill because it’s a way in which he can present himself as a tribune of the people and the Republicans as a tribune of the plutocrats.
