"trademark brutality, wannabe emperor". As someone commented, you can't get good journalism like this in America. Sad but true.

;AP, Reuters, AFP (Agence France-Presse), The Guardian, BBC, Al Jazeera, etc.
But The Torygraph isn't one of them.
I'm not sure I agree but it's nice to see someone else find Obama's tactics a little less than the 'angel' some make him out to be.
It’s important to remember that Obama’s second term blues began long before the scandals broke. Although he won the 2012 election, the Democrats failed to take the House, and the Senate remained vulnerable to filibuster. That might not have been such a roadblock to legislation had the Prez not spent the election trashing his opponents, calling the Republicans everything from heartless SOBs to enablers of rape. The result was that he entered his second term despised by much of the Congress and so unable to get much done.
But while we’ve yet to find the smoking email, there’s a growing consensus that Obama set the tone of his administration by the trademark brutality by which he fought his opponents. Journalists suddenly know what it must have felt like to be a conservative activist for the past four years, to be treated with a mix of contempt and ruthless discrimination. Obama’s administration has been the most hostile towards investigative journalism in history: its DOJ has filed more leak-related investigations than all the other administrations combined.
I definitely love this sentence the most from his most ardent admirer LOL: He “obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch,” observed Chris Matthews, a disenchanted liberal journalist who once said that those speeches sent “a thrill” up his leg.
You know Obama's in trouble with the media when CM starts downing the President.
