How petty is the president? Seems that Mr. Obama holds a grudge against St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and All-Star hitter Albert Pujols after they attended Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally in Israel. Mr. Obama could not break away from watching television to make the traditional congratulatory call to the team after winning the world series.
While his actions are those of a petulant child, they must not be overlooked. Warning signs are easy to see when we look back after the impact of the consequences have been and are being felt. Some warning signs are clear such as the president’s support of George Soros and Occupy Wall Street. Some signs are not clear as in this case where it is one of omission.
