"What I will not do is to have that negotiation with a gun a the head of the American people" — Obama

Obama- "What I will not do is to have that negotiation with a gun at the head of the American people," on the debt ceiling, angry at GOP

Obama using a series of violent descriptions to describe GOP negotiating style on debt ceiling. Talks about "ransom" and "gun to the head."

Where is the leftist outrage at such violent rhetoric? It’s totally fine, of course, since it was aimed at Republicans.
Why isn't the "gun to the head of the American people" metaphor deemed "violent rhetoric" by the WH press corps?
