So much for that whole "first class temprament" thing
Jennifer Rubin, "Contentions" blog at Commentary magazineIn discussing the White House war on Fox News: It's a cringe-inducing moment, both for those who oppose the White House on policy grounds and those who cheer its every move. As surely as Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton allowed their personal flaws to erode the office of the presidency, Obama seems bent on allowing his own flaws (thin-skinnedness, hubris) to do potentially grave damage to the office as well. And over what? Not some grand policy matter or some key personnel matter, but over the desire to exclude a news network that has criticized him. For those who suggested that Obama's main selling point was his "superior temperament," we anxiously await an admission of grave error. It seems they were terribly mistaken.
