Sarah tweets today about Obama’s “presidential nonsense,” and “petulant obstruction.”
I think we can view this as projection, defined by Brittanica thusly: “Projection is a form of defense in which unwanted feelings are displaced onto another person, where they then appear as a threat from the external world. A common form of projection occurs when an individual, threatened by his own angry feelings, accuses another of harbouring hostile thoughts.”
Sound familiar?
