I was watching Morning Joe this morning and the gang was talking about the president's speech on the budget yesterday. Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, was complaining that Obama had broken protocol somehow by saying terrible things about the Ryan budget plan after inviting Ryan to sit in the front row of the speech. He said something like "I can't understand why he would say things like that right in front of congressman Ryan".
This brought out a "are you F---ing kidding me?????!!!!" yelp from me (apologies to the family for waking everyone up). After listening to and reading the things Republicans have been saying about Obama for the past 3 years, calling him a communist and a terrorist sympathizer among other things, you'd think they could handle a principled argument against their budget plan. He didn't call anyone any names- just stated that Ryan's plan calls for an America that "isn't the America I know".
It's like Fidel Castro complaining about human rights in Canada.
UPDATE: video here. Listen at the 13:00 mark, near the end.
