That's one angry black man,
Obama has reprised, nearly verbatim, a similar White House tactic from last fall’s health-care website debacle. In October, Mr. Obama spoke of his anger in the Rose Garden. “Nobody’s madder than me about the fact that the website isn’t working as well as it should,” he said.
And when he announced the sacking of the Internal Revenue Service commissioner in May 2013 over inappropriate scrutiny to political groups, Mr. Obama said: “Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it.”
Of course, despite his words, the most upset most Americans have seen Mr. Obama have not been when he declared himself angry but when he showed it.
On Nov. 14, 2012, Mr. Obama didn’t have to declare his anger when defending Susan Rice, then the United Nations ambassador and now the national security adviser, from attacks against her by Sens. John McCain (R., Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) over her statements about the Benghazi attack.
“If Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham, and others want to go after somebody? They should go after me,” Mr. Obama said during a White House press conference. “And I’m happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador who had nothing to do with Benghazi? And was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received? And to besmirch her reputation is outrageous.”
And after his gun-control efforts died in the Senate in April 2013, Mr. Obama lashed out at the nation’s gun lobby and called the vote “a pretty shameful day” for Washington.
A few other instances of Mr. Obama publicly expressing his anger:
Feb. 27, 2014: During remarks for his My Brothers Keeper initiative, Mr. Obama spoke of being angry growing up because he didn’t have his father around.
“I didn’t have a dad in the house,” he said. “And I was angry about it, even though I didn’t necessarily realize it at the time. I made bad choices.”
April 15, 2012: After the Secret Service prostitution scandal in Colombia, Mr. Obama offered conditional anger.
“If it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course I’ll be angry,” he said at a press conference.
May 27, 2010: Mr. Obama said he was upset about watching the BPBP.LN -0.22% oil spill.
“And I know that doesn’t lessen the enormous sense of anger and frustration felt by people on the Gulf and so many Americans. Every day I see this leak continue I am angry and frustrated as well.”
March 18, 2009: When executives at AIG, which was in the process of being bailed out by the federal government, were to be awarded million-dollar bonuses, Mr. Obama said there was no need to tamp down public outrage.
“I don’t want to quell anger,” he said. “I think people are right to be angry. I’m angry.”
Yes he's angry, he's angry quite often, then he goes and plays golf, 173 rounds to date. The only successful thing El Presidente' has done since taking office has been fund raising.
