To be clear, every single news station was calling for this guy's head, including Glenn Beck. At worst this means Obama was pandering to the crowd. I really don't think this was some "hissy fit" of his.
That said, I really didn't see that big a deal either. I recalled all that stuff about Patton. Then I found out about... the other stuff... This guy's been excused for a lot of stuff that directly interfered with the war effort, and I guess this was the last straw.
Meanwhile the news is going on about him appearing like an "angry black man". Note their special disguise. It's not a racist comment they're making, oh no! They're saying that's just what he LOOKS LIKE when he does that (how they don't see how racist that is is beyond me, but then again that's often the case with racists). This is the same bunch of stupid news heads that just a few weeks ago were saying Obama seemed too "calm cool and collected". How can you be TOO calm cool and collected? I want a frickin' Vulcan in the white house.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
