Washington’s very, very weird week

This is the best summary I’ve found of this week in Washington. This has been a bizarre week, even by Washington standards. Read summary here.

My favorite part was from Peggy Noonan’s column, “Instead Mr. Obama said, essentially, that he hates the deal he just agreed to, hates the people he made the deal with, and hates even more the people who’ll criticize it. His statement was startling in the breadth of its animosity. Republicans are “hostage takers” who worship a “holy grail” of “tax cuts for the wealthy.” “That seems to be their central economic doctrine.”

As for the left, they ignore his accomplishments and are always looking for “weakness and compromise.” They are “sanctimonious,” “purist,” and just want to “feel good about” themselves. In a difficult world, they cling to their “ideal positions” and constant charges of “betrayals.”

Needless to say, the democrats are not taking kindly to these insults. More evidence here. Read the comments too. Some democrats are calling him Mr. PissyPants for his petulance. Seems about right.

Does Obama even like his job? It would appear not.
