I know I can't be suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome because I just don't see how the president demonstrated lack of listening intent in this bus tour encounter. (Tip to Instapundit)
Other than denying that his vice president likened opponents to terrorists (and what president would want to throw their vp under the bus?), I thought he handled a non-fan just fine.
On substance, I don't agree with the president, but he doesn't have to stay and debate until the would-be debater says it is over. President Obama interacted and moved on to more fertile ground. What more was he supposed to do?
It just doesn't rouse anger in me. Sorry.
