Well, BB, isn't Krauthammer's use of the phrase "a few fainting frauleins" an awfully snide thing to say in that context? What does it have to do with any facts? It is a statement uttered with a sneer...and it makes clear the deeply negative emotions that underly Krauthammer's whole argument. All he really wants to do is trash Barack Obama personally and vent his hostility on the man for his own satisfaction.

His treatment of Obama is as nasty as the sort of snide emotional crap that flies between arguing individuals all the time on this forum. He's pretending to be all objective and focused on issues of substance, but he's really just engaging in character assassination as far as I can see. If he was an Obama backer, he'd be doing that to someone else instead.
