But the right to defend himself doesn't include spouting a stream of inane/insane  twitter posts ....hes gotta get used to it....people will be picking fights with him for the next 4 years and if he's going to react like an angry toddler to each one, hes not going to get much done.

Can you imagine if Obama "defended " himself against every insult the Rs tossed at him?....and how they would whine about him wasting time defending himself...
