Civility for thee, not for me

“I’ve asked leaders of both parties and both houses of Congress to come here to the White House on Thursday so we can build on the work that’s already been done and drive towards a final agreement.  It’s my hope that everybody is going to leave their ultimatums at the door, that we’ll all leave our political rhetoric at the door.” – President Obama, July 5, 2011

“The debt ceiling should not be something that is used as a gun against the heads of the American people to extract tax breaks for corporate jet owners, for oil and gas companies that are making billions of dollars because the price of gasoline has gone up so high.” – President Obama, July 6, 2011

Hat tip, Jim Geraghty.

Clearly, when Obama said “political rhetoric,” he didn’t mean comparing the Republicans to murderous, hostage-taking thugs.

Wow, that was just one day.  Boffo, Barry.  What’s next?
