Obama’s vaunted “cool” sometimes reads a lot like contempt:

“I doubt we’re gonna have a million screaming Germans,” Obama said.
… A reporter noted that the campaign has been distributing fliers to Berliners to drum up attendance.
“Why don’t you guys go out and distribute some fliers?” Obama asked. “Is that a conflict for you guys?”
Joked a cable news correspondent: “We have been. It’s called television.”
… Would you describe this as a campaign speech tonight? another reporter asked.
“As opposed to?” Obama replied.

As opposed to? There is only the campaign, the everlasting, permanent campaign — sound familiar?
