Dylan Byers, a reporter for the left-leaning Politico, got hammered Tuesday over a suggestion he’d made about criticizing Obama, earning him a nomination for “the douchiest tweet of the day,” according to tweets gathered by the Twitchy team.
After apparently growing tired of hearing the president constantly being harped on by Twitter users, Byers offered the following:
New rule, champs: You don’t get to fault Obama for being “weak” unless you clearly state what you want him to do that he’s not doing.

Looking at the respective times, it only took a minute before Twitter user S.D. Winkler gave Byers an example, followed up by another and finally with an observation :
@DylanByers You mean like go back in time and undo the missile defense pullout from eastern europe?
— S D Winkler (@sdwinkler) March 18, 2014
@DylanByers You mean like go back in time and undo the Syrian red line threat?

@DylanByers says one cannot assert that Obama’s weakness enabled Putin’s aggression. He feels weakness is only a present tense construct.

These in turn elicited other examples:
@DylanByers Not give an ultimatum to Russia and Syria that threatens action followed by inaction.

@DylanByers uhm, how about go back in time and not be such a naive chowderhead?

Yes, because it’s OUR foreign policy that has been in place the past 5 years. https://t.co/BROaE0FK1t @DylanByers

All of which earned Byers a dubious Weasel Zippers award:
And the award for douchiest tweet of the day goes to . . . . @DylanByers

Sometimes it pays to keep one’s mouth shut. Tuesday was one of those days for Byers.
Paraphrasing a Biblical verse, Abraham Lincoln once said, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”
