I guess the President could have used the time honored 'Presidential' means to attack his political enemies instead of twitter. IRS audits, intrusive FBI investigations, No Fly Lists, or break into their computer systems. And of course if all else failed he could just beat them with a cane, or challenge them to a duel.
     I enjoyed the premise your article, so far the President has laid waste to most of his political enemies. To a blue collar worker, Mika and Joe got what they deserved. Hell Mika even got 'two scoops' of 'whup ass'. Who says our 'Commander in Chief' doesn't women equally.
     And finally, just think of all the political cover this 'dust up' gave to our 'preening and posturing' Senators before the '4th of July' recess.
