Say It Ain't So Already

Lying Billionaire Winger: Obama Hates America Because He Doesn’t Wear a Suit Jacket in the Oval Office Every. Single. Minute.

This would be Ken Langone, the co-founder of the Home Depot, on CNBC last Thursday:

“Let me make it very clear, and I’m sure I’m going to get a lot of hate mail because of this, and that’s okay,” Langone said. “I think our sitting president is acting so unpresidential …. He is dividing us as a nation. He is not bringing us together. He’s willfully dividing us. He’s petulant. …

“The reality is we believe in a government of three legs, all equal. So if (House Speaker John) Boehner and (Senate Majority Leader Harry) Reid — well, Reid will do whatever (Obama) tells him — if Boehner had said I am not coming unless you speak to me in a respectful way, I am third in line to the president, (then I won’t come).

“Ronald Reagan would never go into the Oval Office without his jacket on — that’s how much he revered the presidency. This guy (Obama) worked like hell to be president, okay? He’s got it. Behave like a president.”

Langone isn’t exactly a spring chicken so you’d think he might have a smidgen of historical reference to draw on but I guess not.  Let’s help him out.

Here’s Reagan not behaving like a president:

Ah! Say it ain’t so already. Here’s W being petulant:

Oops.  Then again, facts be damned right?

I wonder if CNBC issued a correction. (Now that would be breaking news.)
