Didn’t his top adviser Dan Pfeiffer recently compare Republicans to suicide bombers?
Via Daily Caller:
President Barack Obama told NBC News today that he’s tried to keep his rhetoric calm during the budget impasse over Obamacare, then urged Wall Street to panic over the partial shutdown of some government spending.
“During the course of my presidency I have bent over backwards to work with the Republican Party and have purposely kept my rhetoric down,” insisted the president, who is meeting Wednesday evening with congressional leaders for the first time since the shutdown struggle started.
Obama, however, immediately contradicted his claim by suggesting shortly afterwards that the GOP’s popular opposition to his health-care takeover — which passed on a party line vote during a heated fight after midnight on a weekend in 2010 — threatens Wall Street’s financial leaders.
“I think I’m pretty well know for being a calm guy — sometime too calm,” Obama said. […]
In recent weeks, however, Obama and his aides and Democratic allies have accused the Republican legislators of being anarchists, suicide-bombers, hostage-takers arsonists, political terrorists, fanatics, blackmailers, and ideological crusaders.
