    One of BHO’s newer soubriquets is “President Stompy Foot”?? I first saw it used at The Conservative Treehouse but it seems to be spreading, showing up here, for instance.

    Maybe this is old – I’ll admit I don’t get out much – but to whomever was responsible: you go, guy. So utterly apt is this particular term I wonder if you know whether there is an equally applicable nom de guerre being lobbed in the general direction of FLOTUS, she of the discerning wit and profound humility?

    I saw it on Twitchy, I think. Or maybe in its native state of Twitter.

    Thanks. It does sound Twitterish, which can be quite good…sometimes. As in brevity being the soul of wit & all. Someone earning this nickname – and heaven knows BHO didn’t get it for free- probably stood by himself on the schoolyard playground, kinda hiding by the monkey bars.
    The only way I can bear him is to try to picture him as a small child, before The Ruin.
