I thought this was The Onion swinging into action again.
But sure enough, the President actually did say that, about the letter Republicans sent.
This comes from a President who declared a Red Line and said that Syria had better not cross it. They promptly crossed it, and he did... nothing.
But he wasn't embarrassed by that.
Then he declared his new heath care plan didn't have any new taxes in it, to get various Democrat congressmen to vote for it. The ink was barely dry on the vote tally, when his cohorts were telling the Supreme Court that of course those so-called "penalties" filling the bill, were actually taxes.
But he wasn't embarrassed by that, either.
And when he declared that "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"... and millions of Americans subsequently found their doctor was not included in the health plan they were forced to switch to...
He wasn't embarrassed by that, either.
But when half the Senate pointed out (in public) that the deal he was negotiating with a terrorist nation to let them develop nuclear weapons, was a bad deal and unlikely to be ratified by the Senate (as constitutionally required)...
...NOW he's embarrassed, he says.
In other words, it doesn't matter how many lies he tells, promises he breaks, or terrorist nations he surrenders to. He's only embarrassed if people POINT OUT IN PUBLIC that he's lying, breaking promises, and failing to protect the U.S from terrorists with nukes. He just can't tolerate people POINTING IT OUT IN PUBLIC.

Obama 'embarrassed' for Iran letter signatories

Washington (AFP) - US President Barack Obama said he was "embarrassed" for Republicans who signed a controversial letter warning Iran's leaders about reaching a nuclear deal with the White House.
"I am embarrassed for them," Obama said in an interview with Vice media, which is expected to be released Monday.
"For them to address a letter to the Ayatollah who, they claim, is our mortal enemy and their basic argument to them is: don't deal with our president because you can't trust him to follow through on an agreement. It's close to unprecedented."
Forty-seven Senate Republicans -- including several potential 2016 presidential candidates -- signed the open letter to Iran's supreme leader published earlier this month.
Republicans warned any deal agreed before Obama leaves office in 2017 is "nothing more than an executive agreement between President Barack Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei."
"The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time," they added.
