President Obama has a history of tiffs on the tarmac. In his book “Leadership in Crisis,” Governor Jindal of Louisiana recounts his battle with the President on his first trip to Louisiana after the oil spill. Jindal’s staff had written a letter to Washington critical of the relief response, and the President stepped off Air Force I loaded for bear. According to Jindal, “There was not a word about the oil spill.” The president just reamed him out because the letter made him look bad.
Either President Obama is very thin skinned or he just likes picking fights with Republican governors assuming that will sway public opinion in his favor.
