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?
