lol, yes. That is why I picked out that quote.

Of course, now the RW is fighting back, saying that the Post article is misleading at best, and there are contradictions in the account of one of the people quoted there, and of course pointing to an incident that Obama tells in his memoir about pushing over a girl when he was a about 7 years old or so in response to being teased by others that he was her "boyfriend" and then they pretend that incident is far worse than the haircutting incident, lol. Either they specialize in refusing to get the point to stories, or they are simply defensive liars, one or the other.

Actually, there are some real similarities between Jamie Dimon's rationalization of JPM's loss allegedly from hedging and the RW reaction to the bullying incident.

EDIT: Here is the story from Obama's memoir. It certainly doesn't put him in a good light, but it is in no way equivalent to the haircutting story as told in the Post.
