Obama: "If you don’t like folks talking about you, you probably shouldn’t run for president" (JWF)

Considering how thin-skinned this guy is, one wonders why he's not taking his own advice. It's from the Politico and you can look it up, but they don't get linked here.

President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he's losing his patience over the Republican attacks aimed at his “you didn’t build that” comment.

“I have to tell you, I generally have patience with what the other side says about me, that’s a requirement of this job,” Obama said during a $5,000-per-plate fundraiser here, according to the pool report.

“And if you don’t like folks talking about you, you probably shouldn’t run for president. The one thing I do have no patience for is this argument that somehow what I’m criticizing is success… I want to promote success," Obama said.

Poor baby.

Still reeling from the blowback following his Roanoke remarks, he's taken a break from his relentlessly negative campaign to try and explain what he really meant.

But it's not going to work.

“Those ads taking my words about small business out of context; they’re flat out wrong,” he says. “Of course Americans build their own business.”

The above quote is 100 percent accurate. You can even go to the White House’s own website, click on Remarks by the President at a Campaign Event in Roanoke, Virginia, and it will appear, clear as day in black and white.

And that fact is a mortal threat to Obama’s reelection effort.

Fully cognizant his campaign is in deep trouble, Obama's campaign team at NBC rolled out an absurdly skewed poll Tuesday night using a mind-boggling D+11 sample.

The 2008 national exit poll sample, taken when Hopenchange fever was at its zenith, was 39D/32R/29I, or D+7. This one, after three years of Obamanomics dreck, is somehow D+11 if you include leaners and D+12(!) if you don’t. Anyone feel like taking these results seriously?

And yet we soldier on, my friends, reminding ourselves at every step that lame content is still content. One interesting takeaway: The attacks on Bain are driving Obama’s favorables down too, even with a very Democratic sample.

If you watch the video, nothing is out of context. What you get is an angry, nasty, desperate man willing to say anything. And it's blown up in his face.
