Obama fires back at political critics
US President Barack Obama launched a mocking counter-attack Thursday at pundits who believe the euphoric early promise of his presidency is evaporating amid bitter political warfare.
Obama, who has watched his poll ratings dip sharply over recent months, drew comparisons to his 2008 presidential campaign, which was several times all but written off by media experts who set prevailing political wisdom.
"We have been through this before, in Iowa," Obama said, referring to the first state to hold a 2008 Democratic nominating contest, which saw him capture a come-from-behind win.
"All Washington said 'Oh, it's over,' hand-wringing angst ..."
Then Obama drew parallels to the media frenzy that greeted the nomination of firebrand Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in 2008.
"The media was obsessed with it, cable was 24 hours a day," Obama told a friendly audience of grass-roots Democratic activists at a Washington forum broadcast live over the web.
"'Obama's lost his mojo,' you remember all that?
"There is something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee weed up!"
Oh, my God.
This is the eloquent Obama, greatest orator America has ever known?
I wonder.
When Chris Matthews heard Obama say "all wee weed up," did he feel a thrill going up his leg?
The phrase sounds like more of a trickle down thing to me.

I guess it's too much to ask for Obama to go wee, wee, wee, all the way home.
Yeah, that's asking too much, but I think it's possible he may go wee, wee, wee, all the way to Martha's Vineyard.
