Not satire, just … stupidity.
What happens when the media forget that they’re only supposed to throw softballs at Obama? Former LA Times reporter Steve Weinstein gets mad:
Shorter Press Conference: Nearly every Reporter proud to act like a total dick. Then Pres Obama replies with calm, generous dignity.

Say wuuuuuut?
@steveweinstein Generous Dignity…I love that term

So do we. Because it’s hilarious! And what makes it even funnier is that there are actually people out there who agree with Weinstein’s assessment:
@steveweinstein @theonlyadult I love our President

@steveweinstein @AngryBlackLady I’d trade last nights results for the firing of every single DC Village journalist/demonspawn.

@steveweinstein @ScottyBurberry Exactly. WH press corps showed themselves small and petty today–and every day.

@steveweinstein The Media facial expressions showed outmost disgust for this President. They loathe him more than anything.

@steveweinstein @word_34 Yes, he is before his time. In the future, we will look back on him as a futurist President.

My immature self has difficult time understanding how Pres. Obama keeps his dignity so intact. I admire him. @steveweinstein @theonlyadult
