UPDATE: Shocker: Obama was ‘rude and dismissive’ in exchange with Democrat. “During a question and answer session Wednesday with Democrats on Capitol Hill, President Barack Obama offered what Democratic sources said was a testy response to a question about a federal loan guarantee program, with one source in the room calling it ‘rude and dismissive.'” I’m inclined to believe that, since that’s his style whenever he’s challenged.
