Just “a little offended,” but offended all the same.
The cause of Kristol's ire is President Obama's “cheesy” and “pathetic” decision to address caucus goers in Iowa tonight, thereby “butting in” on the process:
And Kristol shouldn't be offended by incumbent presidents who are unopposed for their party's nomination addressing supporters at a caucus in Iowa. As Kristol himself said, he worked for Reagan. Who addressed the Iowa GOP caucus as an incumbent in 1984. When he was unopposed for his party's nomination.
