Apparently Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts didn't care for President Obama's criticism of the recent decision on campaign finance uttered during the State of the Union address.

Roberts wondered why court members attend the annual speech as it has turned into a pep rally. Conservatives jumped on his views as the Outrage of the Day. How dare Obama criticize the court and how dare he do it in front of them! In addition, Justice Alito was praised for his mouthing of "not true" during Obama's criticism.

Unfortunately this is just another in a series of contrived events dredged up by conservatives so they have something to complain about, rather than focusing on how their policies messed up the country during the past decade.

Seriously, think about it. Once a year the President makes an address to Congress and the public (including the court) outlining the vision for the administration. Many times that agenda can include legislative fixes to court decisions. What was Obama supposed to do? Stop and ask the Justices to leave the room so he can talk about his agenda without hurting any one's feelings?

Now if this was a conservative making the speech it would have been full of condescension (see any of Ann Coulter's books) and the very same people criticizing Obama would have been approving of the message. Instead it's just another chance for conservatives to complain about Obama, with the hope of hurting his popularity.

And tomorrow's story is - Obama sure is getting criticized a lot. See the self fulfilling prophecy?
