Rodney, Is That You?

Who knew that a slim, chill, dapper narcissist had so much in common with a fat, sweaty shlub? James Taranto writes:

Obama has turned into President Rodney Dangerfield: He doesn't get no respect. (For readers too young to remember Dangerfield, that's not litotes. He used the double negative as an intensifier.) "So we're left with a stalemate," he said last night. "At least that's what Michelle tells me."

OK, we made up that punch line. But it's true that lately Obama hasn't been getting much respect from his friends, either...
