It’s another one of those “pot / kettle” things that Obama is so famous for.
President Obama remarked Tuesday that the “vulgar and divisive rhetoric” that has been heard on the campaign trail this political season “has to stop.”
He made his less-than -friendly remarks at the Friends of Ireland Luncheon hosted by House Speaker Paul Ryan at the Capitol.
CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller was there taking notes and reporting.
Pres Obama says “vicious atmosphere in our politics…has to stop.” Tells members of Congress “all of us are responsible for reversing it.”

Of the name-calling in the pres campaign, Pres says we can “roundly reject this kind of behavior in the other party or our own party.”
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) March 15, 2016
He added that “the corrosive behavior can undermine our democracy and our society.”
Well, the president should know all about this — he’s been engaging in “corrosive behavior” and “divisive rhetoric” full-throttle for eight years now, without any sign of letup.
And social media was only too happy to remind him.

@redsteeze @VRWCTexan @markknoller @SpeakerRyan Remember a 2009 “We won, you lost” conversation when Obama discarded Ryan & bipartisanship?

Candidate Obama 08: “If they bring a knife – We bring a gun”

Obama has ZERO moral high-ground from which to speak. https://t.co/zzT0UMWpFm— Tom T. (@VRWCTexan) March 15, 2016
And he wasn’t talking about al-Qaida on that one — he was referring to the Republican Party during his first presidential run.
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl.”
@markknoller This coming from the man who blames everything on Republicans,

If this is the manner Obama chose to repay Ryan’s hospitality, I somehow doubt that the speaker will be inviting him to any more luncheons.
