Yup, they’re occasionally mean

Mary Katharine Ham also weighs in on both Michelle’s and Barack’s periodic meanness.  She mentions a few examples I’d forgotten and reminds me of Obama’s snide remark about Pennsylvianians as embittered, religiously fanatic gun clingers.  One can be nice and witty.  One can be mean and witty.  And one can be just mean.  Obama hits all three, but with too many landings on the last category.
