Who has been talking about Obama "like a dog"?

The strain of failure is beginning to take its toll on our president. A strange quote from today's speech in Milwaukee:

"Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they're not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That's not in my prepared remarks, but it's true," he told a crowd largely consisting of union members.

Watch the video. His handlers should never let him go off-prompter. In front of a friendly crowd he becomes even more full of himself and starts improvising what he seems to think are witty remarks. This one was just plain weird.

And who exactly are these mean "powerful interests"? Not the unions, I suppose, since he's speaking to a union crowd. Maybe he's talking about Nancy Pelosi? Or George Soros? Maybe Michelle is mad at him? We need to get to the bottom of this.

Hat tip: PoliPundit, who comments: "Whaaa?"


*Update: Here's more from today's speech. You'd think by this point even Obama would be tired of hearing himself pass the buck on the economy. But no.

*Update: Mary Sue's comment from Potluck:

I think it is probably the business community and Wall Street, who’ve placed their bets on a GOP takeover after 19 months of being Obama’s whipping post. Mort Zuckerman says this all the time the business community bashes Obama. Now that they’ve taken their money to the GOP Pelosi is probably having a screaming fit behind the scenes and we know that the Dems up for re-election have been hammering him to get a message on the economy. Like any narcissist Obama can’t handle the criticism and starts railing about the special interests who hate him after his massive legislative accomplishments or something.

He evidently spent the rest of the time bashing the GOP, what a shocker that is. I don’t know if it ever dawned on the guy to do something – you know presidential – on a national holiday. He doesn’t have anything else to offer though; he is a one-trick pony.

Uh huh. But now we're talking about him like a pony.
