President Obama is not a good negotiator or off-the-cuff speaker. His forte is reading pre-written text on a teleprompter. So it is no wonder that, now that audio of the President's negotiations with Republicans over the budget last week have been leaked, Mr. Obama sounds more like an antagonistic child more than the leader of the free world.
Unfortunately for the President, closed-door meetings with Republicans and Democrats last week were accidentally "piped back" to the White House and then recorded. In them, the President does not simply disagree with others' points: he openly mocks and ridicules them.
Take for example his discussions on Republicans and ObamaCare. Talking with an undisclosed Democrat, President Obama went on a tirade, saying:
"The notion that I'm going to let you guys undo that in a 6-month spending bill?' I said, 'You want to repeal healthcare? Go at it. We'll have that debate. You're not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we're stupid?!'"
On spending cuts and ending liberal programs, Obama continued:
"You guys want to have this debate? We're happy to have that debate. We will have the debate on the floor of the Senate or the floor of the House. Put it in a separate bill. We'll call it up. And if you think you can overturn my veto, try it."
