Apparently, the dictator of post-America has a bit of a potty-mouth on him

So says Ann Compton:

According to retired ABC News journalist Ann Compton, Barack Obama launches into "profanity-laced" tirades against the press in off-the-record meetings with reporters. In a C-SPAN interview, Compton also derided the President for leading "the most opaque" administration of "any I have covered."  The journalist, who retired in August after a 40-year career, revealed to C-SPAN's Brian Lamb: "I have seen in the last year Barack Obama really angry twice. Both were off-the-record times. One, profanity-laced where he thought the press was making too much of scandals that he did not think were scandals." 
And that hooey about how he was going to lead the most transparent administration ever can now be put to rest:

Earlier in the hour-long C-SPAN interview, which aired on Sunday night, but was recorded in October, Compton slammed the "opaque" administration: 
ANN COMPTON: Before I walked out the door on September 10, I was a strong voice for complaining that this particular administration has been more opaque than any I have covered about what the President does in the Oval Office everyday. He is far less accessible on photo-ops with meetings. Even some meetings on the record, meeting in the Roosevelt room with financial leaders from, from Wall Street or on issues with environmental groups, or with issues with environmental groups, with public opinion leaders, I think most presidents have been far more forthcoming than the second Obama term, in terms of what the President is doing every day and we almost never get photo-ops. 
She added that it's fine for the White House to take its own photographs, but "those same elements should not be blocked from the White House press corps." 
Wish he'd learned to talk to the Ayatollah Khameini, Vladimir Putin and Mullah Omar like that.

  3. He might already be the lamest duck in American history. Good work, I guess, but there is a lot of precedent for cussing presidents.
