I will not comment on the actual words that the President used on Twitter against Mika Brzezinski other then to say these are words I wouldn’t use against those I’m opposed to; which begs the question of WHY? The President is an intelligent man who must have known the powerful response his words on Twitter would have caused so could their be a deeper reason behind such an attack. Here are a few points one might consider in determining if this is the case.
(1) His Twitter remarks have allowed the discussion on the Senate work of replacing Obamacare to die down. Which might enable true negotiations to occur in private and as such maybe move the ball forward.
(2) These remarks might intimidate other journalist who have had round the clock attacks on the President to consider having a bit more balanced approach… just a bit.
(3) Whatever Mika Brzezinski says in the near future will appear to be based on a personal revenge against the President instead of based on a logical difference of opinion. Enabling her comments to not be considered as serious as she would like.
(4) The President could be personal hurt by the continual attacks of said individuals who he has had a friendship with in the past and just lost it this time.
